Looking for an opportunity to join an expanding team in the Strategic Command Safety Centre?

The Strategic Command (UKStratCom) Safety Centre is looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, and experienced individual to fill the role of Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental (HS&EP) Advisor and provide subordinate organisations with advice on Safety hazards and associated risks across the Command.

The role will form an integral part of the Chief Environment and Safety Officer (CESO) team and advise on the requirements of international standard ISO 45001 and 14001 and Ministry of Defence HS&EP Policy, promoting best practice across the Command, supporting the effective management of occupational HS&EP risks, and providing assurance to senior management.

You will be expected to have a good working knowledge of HS&EP Management disciplines, including Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) & Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), Electrical Safety, Permit to Work, Legionella, Maintenance, Construction & Excavation, Asbestos, First Aid, Pollution Prevention and Control whilst being familiar with associated legislative requirements. Suitable applicants will possess good communication skills and be able to work independently whilst delivering results, overseeing HS&EP management across a global organisation, within their area of responsibility and will be required to complete regular travel in the UK and overseas.

**Job description**:
The UKStratCom TLB (Top Level Budget) is one of the four Military Commands operating in the UK and overseas, including locations in Cyprus, Gibraltar and South Atlantic. The purpose of the Safety Centre is to enable UKStratCom to deliver its outputs whilst protecting Health, Safety and the Environment. This is achieved through the provision of professional HS&EP advice, training and support to Business Units, Heads of Establishment and managers throughout the TLB. The Safety Centre also provides Commander UKStratCom and his Executive Committee with HS&EP assurance through audit and regular performance monitoring and reporting.

This post provides a unique opportunity to join the new UKStratCom Safety Centre, providing advice and support to ensure compliance with the Secretary of State’s HS&EP Policy Statement in relation to HS&EP management and developing organisational policy. The post holder will work alongside the single Service Leads, represent UKStratCom at Defence level meetings within their area of responsibility, and support the Safety Centre Second Party Assurance (2PA) programme.

The post is advertised at 37 hours per week and is intended to be full-time and therefore part-time or job share can only be considered if full-time cover can be achieved.

Applicants should be aware that some overseas and UK travel will be required for this post. Applicants should also be aware that there is only limited parking on the Northwood site and car parking spaces are allocated on a priority system. However, flexible working is supported within the TLB and the use of public transport and car sharing is very much encouraged at site level.

Allowances: A Recruitment and Retention Allowance (RRA) of £3000 is available to be paid to staff permanently posted to Northwood who are not in receipt of any Outer London Weighting (OLW) RRA.

**Responsibilities**:
In particular the post will be required to:

- Support Deputy CESO by providing UKStratCom Business Units, High Level Budgets (HLBs), Heads of Establishment, etc. with professional advice on Occupational HS&EP for them to meet the HS&EP objectives in the UKStratCom Command Plan.
- Interpret legislation and MOD Policy to support the drafting of TLB HS&EP strategies/directives/procedures/team plans and provide appropriate and timely briefings (written & verbal) to the chain of command and stakeholders as required.
- Represent the TLB at MOD-wide HS&EP Committees (e.g. Defence Safety Authority Working Groups, internal and external stakeholder meetings), providing competent advice and guidance, to ensure that UKStratCom interests are represented and informing team members of current and relevant issues and initiatives.
- Provide peer support to Safety Centre colleagues and promote a positive HS&EP culture through liaison with the TLB-wide HS&EP community.
- Maintain and develop own competence by identifying relevant development opport
