Lead Heath & Safety Officer

I'm currently working on behalf of a West Midlands-based local authority that is seeking out a Lead Health & Safety Officer. Your mission: to ensure the safety and well-being of our community. This is no ordinary job – it's a chance to make a real impact! You won't be on your own either, as you'll partner with the existing Lead Health & Safety Officer to oversee the service as a whole.

You'll be an integral part of the Quality and Safety Team in Adult Social Care, and your role is simple yet vital – assessing and championing health and safety compliance in commissioned social care provision.

Picture yourself enhancing safety standards in care homes and day centres, contributing to a safer, healthier local community.

A more detailed Job description/Personal Specification is available upon request.

Contract Details:

• £28-£35 per hour DOE
  
• Initial 3-month contract with the likelihood of extension beyond this
• Hybrid working - 3 days in the office and 2 from home (or vice versa)
• End of September Start

Requirements:

• N.E.B.O.S.H Certificate, N.E.B.O.S.H. Diploma (or studying towards) or NVQ in Occupational Health and Safety Practice (Level 4).
• Minimum 3 years as a practising health and safety adviser.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proven experience in delivering health and safety training courses.
• Track record in developing health and safety policies and procedures.
• In-depth knowledge of health and safety legislation, and its impact/implementation.
