The Health and Safety Department at the University of Nottingham provides strategic and operational support to the University, including delivery of health and safety governance and assurance programmes.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced health and safety professional to join the University in a newly-formed role. You will be an enthusiastic and motivated individual who will join the existing team, reporting to the Director of Health and Safety. You will lead on the University auditing process and programme and on the University Health and Safety Management System, supporting colleagues in the Health and Safety Department and wider University. In addition, you will provide general health and safety support and advice to staff and students on a wide range of topics, with the mission of supporting a positive safety culture.

You will be a hands-on, pragmatic, people-orientated individual, with demonstrable influencing skills.
