Job Search

We are seeking an experienced Services Safety Manager to lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of health, safety and environmental standards across a range of operational and support services. The successful candidate will provide expert advice to managers, supervisors and employees, ensuring that safe working practices are embedded throughout day-to-day activities and aligned with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements and industry standards.

Key responsibilities will include conducting risk assessments, audits, inspections and incident investigations; identifying trends and recommending effective corrective actions; maintaining accurate safety records; and preparing clear reports for senior stakeholders. You will develop and deliver engaging training, briefings and awareness campaigns, while supporting the review of safe systems of work, emergency procedures, contractor controls and business continuity arrangements. The role will also involve working closely with operational teams to assess new activities, equipment and services, and ensuring that appropriate controls are in place before implementation.

Applicants should have substantial experience in a health and safety management role, preferably within a complex service, facilities, public-sector, industrial or similarly regulated environment. A recognised health and safety qualification and practical knowledge of applicable workplace safety legislation are essential. You will be confident interpreting data, managing competing priorities and influencing colleagues at all levels without direct authority. Strong communication, investigation, organisational and problem-solving skills are required, together with a pragmatic approach to risk management and a commitment to continuous improvement. The ability to work independently, while building effective relationships with internal teams, contractors and external agencies, will be important. A full driving licence or willingness to travel between operational locations may also be required.
