Croydon, United Kingdom Harris Federation Full time

**ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY**
We are looking for a Health and Safety Officer to join our central Health and Safety team and support in establishing a positive and compliant health and safety culture for students and staff across the Harris Federation.

You will be required to provide advice, guidance and support on health and safety matters to Harris Federation academies, head office staff, and other locations across the Harris estate. Collaboration with other central services teams will be necessary to develop health and compliance standards across the estate.
**WORKING WITH US**
The founder and sponsor of the Harris Federation, Lord Harris of Peckham, opened our first school in 1990. We have, over the past thirty years, implemented ideas and initiatives that have transformed the opportunities of pupils from working class and disadvantaged backgrounds. Harris academies are widely recognised as a force for social mobility. We are immensely proud of the role that our alumni are now beginning to play in the world and of what we believe our current generation of pupils will go on to achieve.

We now have over 50 schools educating more than 40,000 young people across London and Essex, and employ over 5,000 staff across our academies and head office. With the majority of our academies located in areas of high socioeconomic disadvantage, a high-quality education is key to the futures of the pupils we serve.

As a provider of employment and education, we value the diversity of our staff and students, and all our staff are equally valued and respected. We are committed to providing a fair, equitable and mutually supportive learning and working environment for our students and staff.

Our work will impact many generations to come, and our staff come from all backgrounds and walks of life, coming together to inspire young minds. We promote an inclusive culture that embraces the valuable and enriching contribution that all of our community make. We continue to be proactive in uplifting and supporting all voices at Harris.
