Are you a Health & Safety professional, looking for that ideal progression opportunity and next step in your career?
As our Health & Safety Advisor, you will assist the Head of Health & Safety in ensuring our Colleges comply with all health and safety legislation and provide advice and guidance on health and safety matters to internal employees and external employers (e.g. student work placement providers). The work you do as a Health & Safety Advisor is key to ensuring our staff and students have a safe working and learning environment and will play a key role in promoting a positive health and safety culture.
This role entitles you to fantastic benefits, including a highly competitive Local Government Pension Scheme and above-statutory annual leave that rises with continuous service plus college closure days over the Christmas period which are not deducted from leave entitlement, plus the option to purchase up to 5 additional days. You also get access to a range of professional development opportunities and discount schemes, including schemes that give you discounts at a variety of shops, restaurants and more. All of this is highly competitive against what is offered by the private sector.
