Job description

Salary: 40000

HEALTH & SAFETY ADVISOR 🚨
Multi-site | Hybrid / Remote Flexibility
Up to £40,000
Monday – Friday | 40 hours

This isn’t a clipboard-and-policing role.

This is a hands-on Health & Safety position where you’ll be out on site, building relationships, supporting teams, and making safety work in the real world — not just on paper.

THE ROLE

You’ll support multiple sites, working closely with managers and technicians to ensure risks are understood, managed, and controlled.

This role is ideal for someone who:
Likes being visible on site
Builds trust quickly
Takes a practical, common-sense approach to safety

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Supporting site teams with practical health & safety advice
Conducting site visits, inspections, and audits
Identifying risks and implementing safe systems of work
Supporting incident & near-miss investigations (including RIDDOR)
Promoting a positive safety culture (not a tick-box one)
Assisting with ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001)
Encouraging proactive behaviours (housekeeping, reporting, etc.)
Supporting environmental compliance (waste, chemicals, etc.)

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

✔ NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent)
✔ Full UK driving licence & willingness to travel
✔ Experience in a multi-site, operational environment
✔ Strong understanding of:

Risk assessments
Safe systems of work
Incident investigation

✔ Confident communicator — able to engage with all levels
✔ Practical, hands-on approach (not overly corporate)
✔ Self-motivated and able to manage your own workload

👉 Experience within automotive, engineering, or workshop environments is a big plus.

WHY THIS ROLE?

Autonomy and trust to manage your own sites
Opportunity to influence real change
A role where you’re supporting, not policing
Growing business with strong safety focus

WHAT’S ON OFFER

Up to £40,000 salary
Hybrid working flexibility
Strong benefits package (holidays, pension, wellbeing support)
Ongoing training & development

FINAL WORD

This role suits someone who:

Leads by example
Builds relationships
And makes safety work in practice, not just policy
