• Conduct H&S audits, inspections and incident investigations across match‑day and non‑match‑day operations, including suppliers and all club areas.
• Liaise with department heads to identify training needs, arrange and facilitate mandatory and specialist training, and deliver Health & Safety inductions for new starters.
• Act as the point of contact with Local Authorities and inspection bodies on HSE matters when required.
• Promote environmental compliance initiatives and embed a strong safety, health and environmental culture aligned with business objectives and customer service.
• Support cross‑functional regulatory activities, including food safety and fire safety inspections, working collaboratively with colleagues.
• Provide match‑day Regulatory Services support when required and undertake additional duties necessary to support an evolving safety, health and environment function.

Essential

The Person:

• Level 3 qualification in Occupational Health and Safety.
• Level 3 qualification in Environmental Management (or equivalent).
• Experience in a busy operational environment providing H&S support and advice.
• High level of computer literacy.

Desirable

• Level 3 in Food Safety and/or Fire Safety.

• Wellness Support with access to mental health resources, digital health checks, and nutritionists through Aviva Digicare+ Workplace
• Exclusive Discounts through our United Rewards platform, giving you access to exclusive deals from the club and partners
• Gym Facilities in our onsite locations and opportunities for regular social events and team‑building activities
