**Job summary**:
With a world-class reputation for safeguarding the health and safety of people at work, HSE is adapting and evolving to meet the new challenges ahead. This is an exciting time to join the Chemical Regulations Division (CRD) with opportunities to develop and shape our regulatory schemes for the future. Our primary role is to deliver regulatory schemes intended to protect the health of people and the environment, balancing the economic and social benefits that chemicals offer to society and helping to ensure the safe and sustainable use of chemicals. We also have a role through guidance, partnership working and leadership to raise awareness and promote behaviour change to help improve the control of hazardous substances in the workplace.

With a world-class reputation for safeguarding the health and safety of people at work, HSE is adapting and evolving to meet the new challenges ahead.

To help us meet these challenges, we require an experienced Band 2 Occupational Hygiene and Human Exposure Specialist to join CRD’s REACH team.

This role is available for full-time only (with the option for flexible working arrangements).

**Job description**:
You will be part of a team that is delivering HSE’s objectives in support of the UK regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (UK REACH). This is part of GB’s independent chemicals regulatory framework, enabling decision-making that best reflects the needs of GB, while maintaining some of the highest standards in the world.

You will be a recognised, appropriately qualified occupational hygienist, comfortable in a multidisciplinary team that includes chemists, toxicologists, ecotoxicologists, and experts in environmental exposure and socio-economic analysis. You will provide expert knowledge and experience of human exposure requirements in regulatory processes.

The main focus of your work will be to lead on specialist occupational hygiene and human exposure considerations in regulatory activities to determine if certain regulatory risk management activities may be required. For example, this could include contribution to the production and assessment of proposals to restrict chemicals that pose an unacceptable risk to humans or the environment. Additionally, before initiating a formal regulatory risk management process under REACH, an in-depth analysis of the most appropriate regulatory risk management option (RMOA) may be undertaken, for which your expert input on matters relating to occupational hygiene / human exposure will be vital.

You will also provide wider occupational hygiene support to other priority regulatory risk assessment activities, as driven by the business needs, for example, the scientific scrutiny of Applications for Authorisations and the development of technical opinions.

This is desk-based work. However, you will be encouraged to develop networks within the wider professional community of occupational hygienists.

At HSE, we are proud to be able to offer our people the opportunity to work in a hybrid way which combines working from home and the office. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement and your allocated office will be your contractual place of work. There will be a requirement to travel to the office for various activities e.g. collaborative working, supporting and training colleagues.

**Person specification**:
You will have:

- Substantial occupational hygiene knowledge, including experience of assessing and modelling exposure.
- Initiative and decisiveness skills, supporting your ability to make effective decisions, while being open to challenge and involving others.
- Technical credibility and experience of performing representational roles at national and international meetings.
- Experience of leading teams and/or projects, developing yourself and others, and delivering to time, cost and quality criteria.
- Initiative and decisiveness, supporting your ability to make effective decisions, while being open to challenge and involving others.
- Comprehensive analytical skills with the ability to explain complex technical information in a clear, concise and timely way.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, enabling you to collaborate effectively and engagingly with others.
- Experience in building and maintaining strong, positive working r
