About this opportunity
We're working with a growing, independent health and safety consultancy that does things differently.

As part of a close-knit and supportive team, you'll work alongside experienced consultants who are passionate about developing the next generation of health and safety professionals.
You’ll receive hands-on support, mentoring, coaching, and practical exposure to consultancy work, gradually building your confidence and expertise.

Assisting with risk assessments, safe systems of work, and health and safety documentation
Supporting the development and delivery of training workshops
Helping clients improve their health and safety management systems
Assisting with monitoring, assurance and compliance activities
Supporting clients through accreditation and certification processes
Building relationships with clients and learning how consultancy services are delivered
Developing your technical knowledge and consultancy skills through structured training and mentoring
What we're looking for

You'll ideally have:
NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent Level 3 Health & Safety qualification
Experience where health and safety forms part of your current role OR experience in a Health & Safety Coordinator, Administrator, Assistant, Compliance or similar position
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Good organisation and attention to detail

Open-minded and willing to challenge traditional thinking
Looking for a long-term opportunity where you can grow
