Sonic Summary

info
  • A long-established manufacturing business is seeking a Health & Safety professional with a NEBOSH General Certificate and at least 3 years of experience.
  • The role involves leading health and safety compliance, delivering training, and promoting a proactive safety culture on the shop floor.
  • You will work closely with an experienced Group Health & Safety Manager and have the opportunity to grow into a management role.
  • The position offers a salary of £35,000 - £45,000, depending on experience, and emphasizes the importance of building relationships and influencing safety practices.
  • Candidates who are passionate about protecting people and improving workplace safety are encouraged to apply for this impactful role.
Some people see health and safety as rules and checklists.
You see it as people. Protecting them. Empowering them. Helping them go home safe every day.

We're representing a long-established manufacturing business that's looking for someone exactly like you - someone who can be a visible, approachable presence on the shop floor. Someone who knows that safety culture is built in conversations, not just in documents.

This is a sole-standing Health & Safety role, but you'll never feel alone. You'll work closely with an experienced Group Health & Safety Manager who'll back your ideas and give you the freedom to make an impact. And because this business is growing, there's plenty of room for you to grow too - into a management role if that's where you want to go.

You'll be the person employees turn to for advice, guidance, and training - from day-one inductions to coaching seasoned team members on best practices. You'll lead investigations when something goes wrong, but more importantly, you'll be influencing things, so those moments happen less and less. You'll run drills that prepare people for the unexpected and work with managers to make sure every policy, risk assessment, and process is up-to-date, practical, and understood.

Snapshot of what you'll be doing:
* Leading and supporting all aspects of health and safety compliance on site.
* Delivering engaging H&S training to employees, contractors, and management (including inductions).
* Coaching teams to raise safety standards and embed a safety-first mindset.
* Investigating incidents and near misses, ensuring corrective actions are implemented.
* Running regular safety drills and ensuring readiness across all shifts.
* Reviewing and updating policies, procedures, and risk assessments.
* Actively promoting a positive, proactive safety culture throughout the site.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to hide in an office. You'll be walking the floor, building relationships, listening to concerns, and spotting opportunities to make the workplace safer and more efficient. You'll use your NEBOSH General Certificate and your practical experience to guide decisions - and your people skills to inspire change.

In return, you'll join a close-knit team who care about what they do. You'll have the autonomy to shape safety culture and the support to push your career forward. And you'll get the satisfaction of knowing that your work directly protects people, every single day.

If that sounds like the kind of role you've been waiting for, we'd love to hear from you.
