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.
If this sounds suitable for you, or someone you know, please send an updated CV and contact number to Sean Cloherty at Panoramic Associates so we can discuss further.
