At Change Grow Live, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to make positive change. Every day, our teams support people facing some of life's most complex challenges, helping them build healthier, safer and more fulfilling futures.

Behind every successful service is a safe environment where our colleagues can do their best work. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a passionate and experienced National Health and Safety Advisor to join our Legal Services team and help shape, influence and strengthen health and safety practice across one of the UK's leading health and social care charities.

The opportunity

Working closely with the National Health and Safety Manager, you'll provide expert advice, guidance and practical support to managers and teams across the organisation.

You'll help ensure our health and safety management systems remain effective, proportionate and compliant, while supporting a culture where safety is everyone's responsibility.

From conducting audits and analysing performance data to investigating incidents and supporting service managers with risk assessments, you'll play a visible and influential role in helping us continually improve.

You'll also contribute to the development of policies, training programmes and innovative solutions that support safe and effective service delivery across a diverse range of environments.

About you

You'll be a credible and proactive health and safety professional who enjoys building relationships, influencing others and finding practical solutions.

You'll bring:

• NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent qualification).
• Experience working within a professional health and safety environment.
• Experience developing and implementing health and safety management systems.
• Experience conducting audits, investigations and risk assessments.
• Strong knowledge of health and safety legislation and best practice.
• Knowledge of ISO 45001.
• Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder engagement skills.
• The ability to analyse data and translate findings into practical action.
• A commitment to continuous professional development.

Experience within health, social care, charity, healthcare or other people-focused environments would be particularly valuable. IOSH membership and Internal Auditor qualifications are advantageous.
