We have a fantastic opportunity for a
Health and Safety Advisor to join our team covering
Bristol/Exeter and surrounding areas.

This role has some travel required across our operating area both in your local region and occasionally further afield in our geography for team meetings.

About Sovereign Network Group (SNG)

We are thrilled to have joined forces with Network Homes in October 2023, which now places us as the 6th largest housing association in the UK.

Sovereign and Network Homes have come together as SNG (Sovereign Network Group) - an organisation that takes the best of both and makes it even better.

The Role:

We've just launched our new Health, Safety and Wellbeing strategy and this role is key in supporting the delivery of this as well as promoting visible safety leadership.

You'll be central to driving a positive safety culture and providing professional, trusted and clear advice to the business.

Key responsibilities include:

Using your health and safety knowledge to provide confident expert coaching, advice, and guidance to key stakeholders, working in collaboration to drive continuous improvement
Reviewing and developing policies, procedures and other Health and Safety documentation in accordance with relevant legislation and corporate standards
Leading, supporting, and offering guidance in incident management, providing technical expertise on root cause analysis, systemic learnings, and preventative measures
Conducting audits and inspections, producing reports that identify gaps, actions and good practices as well as leading and supporting the development of hazard identification, risk assessment and controls
Leading and supporting on the delivery of projects and incentives to drive continuous improvement
Designing and delivering training courses that are engaging and effective, using a range of delivery techniques
Supporting and providing advice on DSE and office related risks

What we need from you:

You should have demonstrable experience as a health and safety advisor, with a relevant qualification such as the NEBOSH General Certificate.

Any experience or qualifications in housing or construction, such as NEBOSH Construction would be beneficial but not essential.

You'll also have:

Significant experience providing expert occupational health and safety advice within the property or construction industry
A track record in reviewing and developing health and safety policies, procedures and recommending best practices
Confidence in classifying incidents and leading incident investigations
Creative thinking to develop engaging safety training and workshops
Ability to engage with multiple stakeholders, building positive and trusted relationships
Comfortable prioritising workloads and working with accuracy and attention to detail

What you'll receive from us
- £450 flex-pot annually, discounted shopping & cycling scheme

25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays (with an extra day every year up to 30 days)
Opportunity to buy / sell up to 5 days holiday per year
Company pension scheme matched up to 12%, life cover at 4x your salary
Flexible working we're committed to giving people flexibility as widely as possible

It's a fantastic time to join us at SNG. We have an ambitious corporate plan to deliver an inspiring agenda of change and growth in a sustainable way.

You'll be joining a highly skilled team at the forefront of driving these improvements and we'd love to hear from you to explore your skills and experience further.
