Job description

We eat, sleep and breathe events. Inspiring, exciting and entertaining millions through our varied portfolio of events. We believe that great events are about community, fun, innovation and excitement and we apply that ethos to everything that we do. Our sponsorship and exhibitor participation has the ability to transform and revitalise industries.

At Stable Events, we curate a diverse array of experiences that celebrate the rich tapestry of our passions and heritage. From the spirited displays at the GWCT Scottish Game Fair, where Scotland's countryside traditions come alive, to the elegance of The Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials set against the historic backdrop of Blenheim Palace, each event is a journey into the heart of culture and community.

Our events, such as The Game Fair, unite enthusiasts in a shared appreciation for rural life. The latest addition to our portfolio, DogFest, celebrates the joy of canine companionship with activities and displays in stunning stately home settings. The World Gunmakers’ Evening showcases exceptional craftsmanship in bespoke firearms, and LAPADA at Berkeley Square presents a curated collection of fine art and antiques in London's elegant Mayfair.

Every event we host is designed to inspire, entertain, and foster connections, transforming moments into lasting memories.

The Role

We’re looking for an Event Health & Safety Advisor to join our passionate and dedicated team. This is a new and important position within the business and one that plays a key role in supporting our events’ success and ensuring the wellbeing of everyone involved.

Working closely with the Head of Operations, event managers, contractors, exhibitors, and local authorities, you’ll lead the delivery of safe, compliant, and well-coordinated event environments across a diverse portfolio of large-scale outdoor events.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys being part of a collaborative, fast-paced team and someone who is as comfortable advising on safety strategies in the planning phase as they are rolling up their sleeves on-site to support the team during build, live, and breakdown phases.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead on all on-site Health & Safety operations across our major UK event locations.
• Conduct regular site inspections and ensure compliance with relevant UK safety legislation and best practices.
• Build strong, positive relationships with event teams, contractors, exhibitors, and local authorities to ensure consistent safety standards.
• Oversee contractor management and CDM (Construction Design and Management) requirements.
• Respond promptly to incidents, coordinate follow-up actions, and produce thorough reports.
• Provide practical, easy-to-understand guidance on safe working practices to all stakeholders.
• Contribute to fostering a proactive, positive safety culture across the business and supporting everyone from on-site teams to senior management in embedding best practice.
• Participate in risk assessments and event planning processes, offering pragmatic advice and input.

About You

You’ll be an experienced and confident Health & Safety professional with a strong understanding of the unique challenges of outdoor and large-scale public events. You’ll bring a flexible, solutions-focused approach and the ability to balance safety priorities with the practical realities of live event environments.

You’ll also be a strong communicator and someone who can engage a wide range of stakeholders with diplomacy, clarity, and confidence.

Essential Qualifications and Experience:

• NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent).
• Proven experience managing health and safety at outdoor consumer or public events.
• Strong understanding of event-specific risks and relevant safety regulations.
• Working knowledge of Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM).
• Ability to translate complex safety requirements into clear, actionable steps.
• Experience with Health & Safety management systems.
• A practical, proactive, and hands-on approach.
• Calm under pressure, with the ability to make sound, informed decisions quickly.

Why Join Us?

At Stable Events, you’ll be part of a supportive and collaborative team that values professionalism, initiative, and teamwork. We’re proud of our open, inclusive culture and the passion our people bring to every event we deliver.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact across some of the UK’s most iconic events and ensuring that safety, collaboration, and excellence go hand in hand.
