Job description

Overview

SHEA-Safety, Health & Environmental Advisor
Base: Home based, covering South region, with regional offices in South Brent, Yeovil, Bristol, Leighton Buzzard, Basingstoke and Watton. Working Monday to Friday 37.5 hours per week.

Our SHEA Advisors are fundamental to our business. Through your excellent communication you will provide essential support to the operational teams who are working in a Social Housing environment, undertaking construction related refurbishment programs across the South.

Your role will have a key focus to challenge and continuously improve SHE performance through delivery of the company Safety Behavioral programme, driving SHE innovation and promotion of positive SHEA messages. You will achieve this by providing support whilst empowering the Operational team to take ownership of health, safety and environment matters.

Fast paced and progressive, our people take responsibility and thrive in an environment where they are trusted; with a work/life balance that gives them the opportunity to feel motivated and satisfied at work and at home. The role involves a mix of working from home and travelling to sites within the Southern region, meaning you could be travelling to Basingstoke, Bristol, Leighton Buzzard, South Brent, Watton and Yeovil, but you will plan your week and ensure efficiency and output is a priority, rather than spending much time in your car. It is essential that you have a full UK driver\'s license and appreciate that travel is involved but is not excessive.

• Attractive salary & benefits to suit you
• Company Car Scheme or Car Allowance
• 27 Days Hols & BH (pro rata) - option to buy or sell holidays
• Company pension scheme - up to 7.5%
