We're recruiting on behalf of a well‑established and highly successful leisure business seeking a Health & Safety Advisor to support compliance, risk management and operational safety across a busy multi‑site operation.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with solid Health & Safety experience who is looking to further develop their career within a challenging and varied environment. The business is keen to attract someone with strong foundations in Health & Safety who is eager to learn, take ownership and grow alongside the organisation.

The Role

Reporting to the Senior Health & Safety Advisor, you will play a key role in ensuring high standards of safety, compliance and operational assurance are maintained across the sites.

• Conducting regular site inspections and safety audits
• Identifying risks, compliance issues and areas for improvement
• Tracking and following through corrective actions to completion
• Maintaining statutory inspections, certifications and compliance records
• Supporting incident investigations, near miss reporting and accident management
• Assisting with contractor management, permits to work and RAMS reviews
• Supporting fire safety arrangements, emergency planning and evacuation drills
• Developing and reviewing risk assessments, procedures and safety documentation
• Coordinating compliance actions arising from insurers, audits and inspections
• Producing regular Health & Safety reports and management information
• Working closely with operational teams while providing independent compliance oversight
