Health & Safety Manager
Salary: 40,000 - 50,000
Location: Stoke-on-Trent (Hybrid working available)
Contract: Permanent, 35 hours per week

Panoramic Associates are supporting a Midlands-based Housing Group to recruit a Health and Safety Manager to join their Property Team. This is a pivotal role where you'll be the Group's subject matter expert on health and safety, ensuring statutory compliance across a diverse housing portfolio.

This organisation manages over 3,000 homes, alongside a charitable arm delivering supported housing. Following a recent senior leadership restructure, the Group has brought health and safety management fully in-house and are now looking for an experienced professional to embed best practice and drive a strong safety culture across the business.

The Role:
You'll act as the accountable lead for all matters relating to health and safety, supporting colleagues across the Property Team and wider Group. Day-to-day, this will include:

• Ensuring full compliance with health and safety regulations and statutory requirements.
• Managing the "big six" areas of compliance including fire, asbestos, electrical, water hygiene, gas and lift safety.
• Providing professional advice and assurance reports to the senior management team.
• Keeping up to date with legislation and ensuring future regulatory changes are planned for.
• Promoting a proactive health and safety culture across the organisation, challenging unsafe practices and encouraging continuous improvement.
• Supporting the delivery of key sustainability projects within the Group's corporate plan.

What We're Looking For:

• A relevant qualification such as NEBOSH Diploma / NCRQ, or equivalent experience.
• Strong track record of leading health and safety in a social housing environment (essential).
• Knowledge of housing-specific compliance requirements, including fire safety, asbestos management, HHSRS and lone working.
• Up-to-date knowledge of legislation, best practice and statutory guidance.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage colleagues at all levels.
• A collaborative, hands-on approach - willing to "roll your sleeves up" and work closely with a social, tight-knit team.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance.

What's on Offer:

• Salary up to 50,000 (DOE)
• 28 days annual leave + bank holidays + an additional "You Day"
• Pension scheme (after 6 months)
• Flexible hybrid working (reactive role, with core base in Stoke-on-Trent)

This is an opportunity to join a supportive, collaborative property team as the go-to health and safety expert, with a clear mandate to shape and embed best practice across the Group.
