Assured Safety Recruitment is recruiting a Health & Safety Advisor on behalf of an established, multi-site service business. The role is based in Birmingham, with regular travel to operational locations across the region.
Reporting to the Health & Safety Manager, you’ll work with managers and employees at different sites to check that safe working arrangements are in place and help resolve any issues. It’s a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being out on site, talking to people and giving clear, practical advice.
What you’ll be doing
Visiting operational sites to carry out health and safety inspections and audits.
Recording your findings, agreeing actions with site managers and checking that improvements have been made.
Reviewing risk assessments and safe systems of work, and helping managers keep them current when work or site conditions change.
Advising on risks such as COSHH, hazardous substances, slips and trips, manual handling, lone working, work at height and the use of equipment.
Supporting investigations into accidents, incidents and near misses, and helping identify steps to prevent them happening again.
Helping prepare and deliver inductions, toolbox talks and other health and safety briefings.
Maintaining clear records of inspections, incidents, training and outstanding actions.
Assisting with client audits and health and safety information requests.
Working with managers and employees to improve safe working practices.
Keeping the Health & Safety Manager informed of significant concerns and progress across your sites.
What we’re looking for
You’ll have a recognised health and safety qualification, such as the NEBOSH National General Certificate or equivalent, and experience in a health and safety role. You’ll be confident carrying out site inspections, reviewing risk assessments and speaking with people at all levels.
You’ll also need to be organised, able to manage your own workload and comfortable travelling regularly between sites. A full UK driving licence is required.
Experience in a multi-site service, facilities or contract environment would be useful, as would experience advising frontline teams.
What’s on offer
A varied, site-based role covering regional locations.
Support from an established Health & Safety Manager.
Company car or car allowance.
Salary and other package details to be discussed
