With ambitious growth plans across the UK and Europe, they are now seeking a proactive and approachable HSE Manager to lead Health & Safety across their modern manufacturing and distribution facilities in Worksop.

This is a business that genuinely values its people — fostering collaboration, wellbeing, and continuous improvement at every level.

The Opportunity

This role offers the chance to shape and elevate a positive, proactive safety culture. You'll be the visible HSE lead on-site, engaging with teams on the shop floor and partnering with senior management to drive best practice.

You'll report directly to the Group Health and Safety Manager, with a dotted line to the Head of Compliance, and will play a key role in the company's journey toward proactive and behavioural-based safety excellence.

  • Support leadership teams to embed behavioural safety practices.
  • Analyse incidents and trends to identify and implement corrective actions.
  • Champion a strong, positive safety culture that empowers all employees.

About You

You'll be a confident communicator and practical safety leader who enjoys working in fast-paced, people-focused environments.

You should have:

  • NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent qualification.
  • Experience within manufacturing, FMCG, distribution or warehousing (food industry experience advantageous).
  • Strong knowledge of risk management, ergonomics, and manual handling.
  • A proactive, organised approach with the ability to prioritise multiple projects.
  • The drive to influence culture and foster continuous improvement.

What's on Offer

  • Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 per annum
  • Holidays: 33 days including bank holidays (rising with service)
  • Wellbeing: 39 hours of pre-booked wellbeing days each year
  • Development: £500 annual learning & development budget
  • Benefits: Enhanced parental leave, discounted Private Medical Insurance, discounted gym membership, free parking and EV charging, plus generous employee product discounts

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact within a high-performing, people-led food manufacturer that truly invests in its teams. You'll join a collaborative environment where your ideas and expertise will help shape the next generation of safety and wellbeing initiatives across the business.
