:

Working in a team with Julie Richardson, Senior Manager - Safety, Health & Environment, 2 other Advisors, and 2 Analysts, the Health and Safety Adviser will play a critical role in ensuring that Homes England's duties and responsibilities under Health and Safety Legislation are complied with.

You will be joining our small but perfectly formed team, who are enthusiastic, friendly, highly skilled and experienced and who are committed to making positive change in how health and safety is managed.

Julie believes in the team working together to deliver a first-class H&S Advisory service, by taking an innovative and creative approach; and also believes in working in a collaborative and flexible way to foster good relationships, decision making and problem solving within her team and the wider organisation.

This is a rare chance to shape the future of health and safety in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose.

Working with key stakeholders and a professional health and safety team you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of issues and have the opportunity to help create a great health and safety culture.

The role will support the design and delivery of key strategic projects around health and safety.

There are some exciting/rewarding/creative/ and ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative solutions to the health and safety offering.

A bit about you:

Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders with regard to health and safety, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

Educated to either Level 5-6 NVQ/Diploma, or holding a degree level qualification in Health and Safety, a minimum of Graduate membership of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is essential for this position.

You'll possess strong knowledge of health and safety management systems including auditing processes and as an experienced health and safety professional you'll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.

You will have excellent communication and presentation skills and be experienced in the delivery of health and safety training whilst also being comfortable in supporting teams with complex health and safety issues, across a wide range of Health and Safety topics.

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn't always easy.

You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a health and safety team.

You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
