Health & Safety Assistant

Leicester

£35,000 - £40,000 + Benefits

Are you a proactive Health & Safety professional looking to take the next step in your career? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading UK manufacturing business at an exciting time of growth and innovation.

We're supporting a well-established, global organisation to recruit a Health & Safety Assistant for their large integrated site in Leicester. With sustainability, continuous improvement and people development at the heart of their culture, this business is known for producing household-name products found in supermarkets nationwide.

Working closely with the Health & Safety Manager, you'll play a key role in driving safety initiatives, supporting colleagues across two local sites, and contributing to a positive, proactive safety culture.

No two days are the same in this fast-paced environment, and this role is fully site-based due to the nature of the operation.

What you'll be doing

  • Supporting the development and implementation of best practice H&S policies, procedures and regulatory compliance.
  • Ensuring staff receive appropriate H&S training to carry out their roles safely and effectively.
  • Producing reports, data and insights for the H&S Manager.
  • Collaborating with teams across the site to deliver proactive safety initiatives.
  • Liaising with internal stakeholders and external bodies on H&S matters.
  • Taking part in weekly production meetings to align on site priorities and targets.
  • Reviewing, adapting and implementing risk assessments across the operation.
  • Assessing machinery compliance and recommending improvements where required.
  • Identifying gaps in training and SSOW, ensuring corrective action is taken.
  • Delivering safety-related training sessions.
  • Providing hands-on support during internal and external audits.

What you'll need

  • NEBOSH General Certificate (essential)
  • Knowledge of OHSAS 18001 and experience with ISO 45001
  • Experience supporting internal and external audits
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and problem-solve
  • Confident using IT systems such as SAP and Microsoft Office
  • Previous experience in a Health & Safety role, ideally with exposure to both administrative and operational environments

This position would particularly suit someone who has gained H&S experience in a busy environment and is ready for a more hands-on, fast-paced operational role.

Given the current workload and recent team changes, we're looking for someone confident, motivated and able to hit the ground running.

What's on offer

  • Competitive salary £35,000 – £40,000 DOE
  • Private Healthcare
  • Salary sacrifice pension scheme
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • 23 days annual leave + bank holidays

If you're ready to play a key role in shaping and embedding strong Health & Safety standards within a major UK manufacturer, we'd love to hear from you.
