We are searching for a Health & Safety professional who genuinely cares about inspiring and empowering our clients and their teams. This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a real difference, to foster safer, smarter workplaces where everyone can thrive.

We’re not your typical consultancy. We believe in guiding our clients beyond mere compliance and ticking boxes — helping them create environments that truly prioritize well-being, safety, and success. We’re driven by a deep commitment to uplift those we serve, to see workplaces flourish, and to be a part of something meaningful.

• Deliver engaging, impactful training sessions that elevate safety standards and ignite a shared commitment to well-being.
• Guide clients in best practices, helping them surpass industry benchmarks with confidence.
• Support investigations into accidents, craft action plans, and champion ongoing improvement initiatives.
• Conduct site inspections and audits, assisting clients in enhancing risk assessments across various industries.
• Help clients achieve SSIP accreditation, ensuring their safety systems meet the highest standards.
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes, translating complex rules into clear, actionable guidance that makes a real difference.
• No cold calling or chasing leads—our strong reputation and collaborative approach mean we work closely with legal, employment, and HR teams, and demand for our services remains high.
• You’ll be out and about—typically three days a week onsite with clients, and two days working from home or our offices, embracing a dynamic, people-focused role.
