    Equal Opportunities

    At Transport for Wales we value diversity. It makes us stronger, helps us understand our customers better, make better decisions and be more innovative. Everyone's different and has their own perspective so we're building a diverse team that mirrors the communities we serve. Through this we're determined to be one of Wales' leading inclusive employers. We're creating an inclusive transport network that everyone in Wales can be proud of.

    Who we are

    At Transport for Wales, we're on a mission to transform transport in Wales and make it fit for the future, whether that's rail, bus, walking or cycling. We want to inspire a nation to change the way it travels, so that we all travel more sustainably and help to combat the climate emergency we're all facing.

    We're an open and inclusive place to work, where everyone is welcome and our people are supported to reach their full potential.

    We want to create an environment where our people can grow and succeed. This is key to enabling us to deliver on the promises we've made to the people of Wales to build a sustainable transport network that meets their needs.

You will create a positive and inclusive environment that encourages professional growth and team cohesion. Additionally, you will develop and implement succession plans to ensure the continuity and sustainability of the health and safety function, identifying and nurturing future leaders within the team.

    The role sits within the wider Safety, Sustainability and Risk Directorate, as part of this team you and your reports will have opportunities for cross functional working, collaboration and integrated projects.
