St Paul’s Cathedral are seeking to recruit for an experienced Health and Safety Officer, a newly created role within the Works Department.

As Health and Safety lead, the Clerk of the Works is responsible for an increasingly large set of policies and procedures. This new role is specifically designed to provide support and reassurance that all policies and procedures represent best practise, and that the Cathedral is a safe place for the whole community.

You will have proven experience of developing and implementing effective health and safety policies, procedures and risk management in similar contexts. You will possess strong IT skills and experience of formal training delivery in an engaging and immersive way for a wide range of staff. This is an opportunity for a passionate and proactive individual to raise the profile of Health and Safety and engage our Cathedral community.
