Health & Safety Manager- Manufacturing - Part-Time (28hours), 4-Day Week

Wigan

Are you a H&S Manager from a Manufacturing background looking for an autonomous role offering a true work-life balance with a 4-day, 28-hour week?

Why This Role Stands Out

• Complete ownership - you'll run H&S end-to-end, reporting straight to the board.
• Dedicated office & budget - autonomy to shape policy, training and audits.
• Stable, award-winning employer - decades of success in leisure-home manufacturing.

What You'll Do

• Lead all site, office and off-site Health & Safety compliance.
• Act as Fire Officer, plan drills and drive continuous improvements.
• Maintain risk, fire and COSHH registers and manage statutory inspections (PAT, electrical certificates).
• Chair H&S meetings, liaise with HSE and external auditors, and keep manuals/current accreditations up to date.
• Deliver internal training and support emergency planning & disaster-recovery reviews.

You'll Bring

• 2+ years' H&S responsibility within manufacturing / engineering.
• Hands-on experience with risk assessments, COSHH & DSE.
• Confident communicator able to influence factory and office teams.
• Good Word, Excel & Outlook skills for reporting and records.

Benefits & Culture

• 33-day holiday equivalent pro-rata (if policy applies).
• Life assurance, health cash plan and staff rewards scheme.
• Supportive leadership that values proactive, solution-focused professionals.
• Opportunity to shape future environmental and quality accreditations as the business grows.
