• Deliver engaging and accessible safety advice, with a focus on learning and continuous improvement
• Partner with teams to build understanding of hazards and behavioural risks, including driver safety, manual handling, and working with vulnerable community members
• Guide leaders in navigating complex behaviours such as aggression, verbal abuse, and dementia
• Lead safety initiatives in your allocated region—including reporting, trend analysis, and project coordination
• Help teams understand and implement wellbeing and safety procedures, with a focus on proactive solutions rather than reactive responses
• Promote and support a positive safety culture through coaching, training, and change journeys

• Confidence in managing competing priorities and working across multiple locations
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and teamwork skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfortable navigating digital systems
• A relevant qualification in Health & Safety or a related field is desirable but not essential
