The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Health & Safety Director to lead and evolve the health, safety and compliance function within a growing residential services business.
This is a strategic leadership role requiring a strong blend of operational credibility, systems thinking and stakeholder management. We are looking for an individual who can build best-in-class safety processes, create a positive safety culture and act as a trusted adviser to both senior leadership and clients.
While experience within residential property is highly desirable, we are equally interested in candidates from FM, property services, maintenance, utilities, infrastructure, construction support services or other operationally focused businesses where health and safety is an integral part of service delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and implement the organisation's health, safety and compliance strategy.
Lead the continuous improvement of health and safety management systems, policies, processes and reporting frameworks.
Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, regulations and industry standards.
Drive a proactive safety culture across a geographically dispersed operational workforce.
Provide strategic advice and guidance to the Executive Leadership Team and Board.
Lead, coach and develop a high-performing health and safety team.
Establish meaningful KPIs, metrics and governance processes to monitor performance and drive accountability.
Oversee audits, inspections, investigations and corrective action programmes.
Build strong relationships with clients and external stakeholders, representing the business as the senior health and safety lead.
Support operational leaders in balancing commercial objectives with effective risk management.
Lead on major incident management and ensure lessons learned are embedded across the organisation.
Identify opportunities to leverage technology, systems and data to improve safety performance and operational effectiveness.
About You
We are looking for a strategic and influential leader who combines technical excellence with strong commercial awareness.
You will likely bring:
Significant senior leadership experience within health and safety.
Experience operating within residential, facilities management, property services or similar multi-site service environments.
A proven track record of designing, implementing and improving health and safety systems and processes.
Strong understanding of governance, risk management and regulatory compliance.
Experience leading and developing teams across multiple locations.
The ability to operate effectively at both strategic and operational levels.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
Demonstrable experience working directly with clients, customers and senior external stakeholders.
Experience presenting to Boards and Executive leadership teams.
A data-driven and continuous improvement mindset.
Qualifications
NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent) essential.
Chartered Membership of IOSH (CMIOSH) preferred.
Relevant degree or professional qualification desirable.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to shape and influence the health and safety agenda of a growing organisation where safety is fundamental to service delivery. You will have genuine executive exposure, the ability to drive meaningful change and the platform to build a best-in-class safety function that supports both operational excellence and business growth.
If you are a strategic health and safety leader with strong systems capability, excellent people leadership skills and the confidence to engage with clients and executives alike, we'd welcome a conversation.
