The role

The post will be home based, and the role is to deliver the Health and Safety Traded Service to educational establishments, predominantly schools, across the South of the region covering Knaresborough/Selby.

As Health & Safety Risk Adviser you will be focused on delivering health and safety advice and guidance to school-based staff, so we particularly welcome applicants with experience of working and undertaking health and safety duties in an educational/school-based setting.

You will deliver services to your allocated premises, manage your own workload, and build up long term relationships with your clients who will recognise and value your expertise.

To be successful you must:

Hold the NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent qualification).
Have effective influencing and negotiating
Demonstrate good interpersonal skills
Be able to work to deadlines and performance indicators
Have the ability to work on own initiative and make evidencebased judgements
Be able to problem solve, find pragmatic solutions in professionally challenging situations

And ideally

Demonstrate experience of working and undertaking health and safety duties in an educational/schoolbased setting
Have a proven track record in delivering customer focused services

What can we offer you?
