**BUSINESS FUNCTION**:Safety

**GRADE**:ML1/SB2

**SALARY**:£36,140 to £45,021 per annum

**ROLE TYPE**: On site

**HOURS**:37 hours per week

**Is occupational health and safety ‘Your Thing’?**
- An opportunity has arisen for a SHEC Advisor to work at our Heaton TrainCare Centre for a 2-year fixed term period, to support the development of a proactive safety culture.
- Connecting millions of people and communities across the North is our mission. With 2,500 trains a day, we connect people to jobs, friends, family, and the wonders of the North.
- We're improving rail travel, enhancing the experience on board and at stations. Customers are at the heart of our business as we improve performance and create a better way to go.
- We're driving economic value and sustainable growth for the North and its people. Our commitment to the environment means reducing our impact and enhancing the world around us.
- Make a difference. Make it last. Make it yours. Make it easy. Make it happen. These are our values.
- Ready to make them yours? Join us on this journey.

**About the role**:

- Heaton is a TrainCare Centre, that maintains trains for Northern and other 3rd parties. Over 200 colleagues work at the depot on a 24 hour, multiple shift rota.
- Working in the role of SHEC Advisor, you will report into our Health & Safety Business Partner for Engineering and will be primarily based at Heaton with the occasional visit to other TrainCare Centres across the North, to support the wider team.
- One of your key areas of focus will be to provide comprehensive occupational health and safety support to Managers, to facilitate continuous improvement in safety standards and performance. All the while, you’ll be promoting and implementing SHEC best practices within the Engineering Function.
- If this sounds like your thing, we’d love to hear from you.

**Key responsibilities**:

- This is a varied and challenging position, but here’s a taste of the key elements to this role:

- Coaching and assisting local managers and frontline colleagues to develop their health and safety knowledge, awareness and risk perception
- Ensuring the effective implementation of safety management system
- Providing advice on and carrying out risk assessments
- Supporting managers to investigate significant incidents and accidents to ensure root causes are identified, and lessons learnt
- Leading Red or Amber level accident/incident investigations as and when required
- Participating in and project managing (when required) SHEC development projects on a business-wide basis
- Assisting with or conducting SHEC audits (in accordance with OHSAS18001/ISO 14001 or other audits within area of competence) throughout the business and on suppliers, as required
- Providing support and guidance for external SHEC audits
- Producing detailed audit reports highlighting deficiencies, areas of non-compliance, and areas of best practice, and communicating the results throughout the business

**About you**:

- As a role model for Safety, we’re looking for someone who can build strong and effective relationships with Managers, in order to promote safety and ensure it’s embedded into decision-making and activities within the TrainCare centre. You’ll also need to be able to interpret SHEC legislation, approved codes of practice, guidance and health and safety procedures to be able to provide accurate advice and guidance.
- We’re also looking for the following:

- NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety
- Membership of a professional safety institution such as IOSH.
- Extensive knowledge of occupational health and safety and environmental issues, legislation, standards and best practice
- Good IT Skills and a detailed knowledge and experience of using Microsoft Office Products, especially Excel and PowerPoint

This role is not safety critical.

**Our Benefits**:

- Because we value our people and reward hard work, we’ve created a benefits package that we think you’ll love. So, you’ll be able to make the most of:

- Opportunities to progress and grow - including comprehensive training schemes and a range of online learning courses.
- Free Travel on Northern services - everyone who works at Northern, plus their partners/spouses and dependents, can travel for free right across our full network of services. *Certain eligibility criteria will apply.
- 75% discount with other Train Operating Companies - after 2 years with us, you’ll also get discounted travel on many other rail services in the UK and Europe.
- Defined Benefit Pension Scheme - you’ll rarely find a pension as good as a Northern pension, and we top up your pension with a generous 1.5 times your contribution.
- Employee Assistance Programme - advice, support and useful information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year on everything from family issues to lifestyle matters.
- Exclusive benefits with Northern Perks - enjoy retail discounts, instant vouchers, cashback, wellbeing
