Health And Safety Manager à United States

Lead Safety. Protect Futures. Make a Difference.

At Wilderness Way we don’t just provide care - we transform lives. As a leading provider of specialist residential care for children, we’re on a mission to create safe, nurturing environments where people can heal, grow, and thrive. Now, we’re looking for a Health & Safety Manager who shares our passion and wants to make a real difference.

This isn’t your average H&S job. You’ll be at the heart of a high-impact, high-compliance environment where your expertise will directly protect and empower both our staff and the children in our care. From shaping policy to leading audits, training teams, and embedding a proactive safety culture — you’ll be the driving force behind our commitment to excellence.

• Leading our health & safety strategy across multiple residential sites
• Delivering audits, investigations, and compliance reports that drive real change
• Designing and delivering engaging training that sticks
• Supporting managers with risk assessments and safety planning
• Championing a culture where safety is everyone’s business

• NEBOSH-qualified with multi-site H&S experience
• A confident communicator who can influence at all levels
• A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement
• A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel across Cumbria and the North East

Bonus points if you’ve worked in residential childcare, education, or regulated care settings — but if you’ve got the drive and the know-how, we want to hear from you.

• Be part of a values-led organisation making a lasting impact
• Work alongside passionate, supportive professionals
• Enjoy a competitive salary, flexible working, and ongoing development
• Make a difference every single day
