The Opportunity

WLD Recruitment is working with an established precision engineering company in Cirencester that is looking to appoint an experienced Part-Time Health & Safety Adviser to support its manufacturing operations.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Health & Safety professional seeking a part-time position with a better work-life balance.

Our client is looking for a practical, hands-on individual who can maintain existing health and safety standards, manage compliance documentation and support day-to-day H&S activities.

This is not a business transformation position. The focus is on maintaining effective systems, supporting employees and management, and ensuring ongoing compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintaining and updating health and safety policies, procedures and documentation.
• Preparing and reviewing workplace risk assessments.
• Supporting internal and external ISO audits.
• Ensuring compliance with relevant health and safety legislation.
• Coordinating employee training, toolbox talks and safety briefings.
• Maintaining training records and compliance documentation.
• Providing practical H&S advice to management and employees.
• Conducting workplace inspections and identifying potential hazards.
• Supporting incident investigations and corrective actions.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a Health & Safety Adviser, Officer or Manager position.
• Good understanding of H&S legislation, risk assessments and compliance.
• Experience maintaining safety documentation and supporting audits.
• Strong organisational and communication skills.
• A practical, hands-on approach and ability to work independently.
• Previous engineering or manufacturing experience would be advantageous.
• NEBOSH or IOSH qualifications would be beneficial.

Working Hours & Salary

Approximately 20 hours per week.

Salary of up to £40,000 per annum, full-time equivalent and pro rata to hours worked.

Based on a standard 40-hour full-time week, this would equate to approximately £20,000 per annum for 20 hours.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Part-time position offering a better work-life balance.
• Competitive salary reflecting experience and qualifications.
• Opportunity to work within an established precision engineering business.
• Varied responsibilities covering H&S compliance, audits and training.
• Practical role focused on maintaining existing systems rather than leading major transformation projects.
