SHEA-Safety, Health & Environmental Advisor
Base: Home based, covering North West region, Monday to Friday 37.5 hours per week
Our SHEA Advisors are fundamental to our business. Through your great communication, you will provide essential support to the operational teams, who are working in a Social Housing environment, undertaking construction-related refurbishment programs across the North West.
Your role will focus on challenging and continuously improving SHE performance through the delivery of the company Safety Behavioral programme, driving SHE innovation, and promoting positive SHEA messages. You will achieve this by providing support while empowering the Operational team to take ownership of health, safety, and environmental matters.
Fast-paced and progressive, our people take responsibility and thrive in an environment where they are trusted, with a work/life balance that gives them the opportunity to feel motivated and satisfied at work and at home. The role involves a mix of working from home and traveling to sites within the Midlands region, meaning you could be traveling to Liverpool, Manchester, and Preston. You will plan your week to ensure efficiency and output is a priority, rather than spending excessive time in your car. It is essential that you have a full UK driver's license and appreciate that travel is involved but is not excessive.
