Health and Safety Lead
Waverley Court
The City of Edinburgh Council has declared a Housing Emergency and wants to ensure everyone has a secure, safe, warm place to call home, with access to services and a culture that supports individuals and communities to thrive.
Following a review of our delivery structure we are looking for an exceptional individual to lead the development, implementation and monitoring of efficient and compliant Health and Safety procedures and practices across the Housing services. You will lead from the front to drive the development of Health and Safety initiatives, plans and policies and embed a Health and Safety culture within the service which has the needs of our tenants at its heart. You will establish and champion management of key risks ensuring compliance with statutory obligations and national legislation whilst providing support, learning and development to staff to help them be safe and at their best.
You will work with our partners in Health and Safety Executive and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to ensure life and limb elements are managed effectively within the Housing and Homelessness service. You should hold a relevant health and safety qualification at HND level or above, e.g. NEBOSH Diploma.
If you are someone who enjoys new opportunities and have strong leadership skills demonstrating our behaviours – respect, integrity, and flexibility as well as extensive experience of creating a high performing culture, driving change and service delivery, we would love to hear from you.
If you have any questions or want to know more about the role, please contact ronan.smyth@edinburgh.gov.uk.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
Happy to talk flexible working.
