We have a particular need for advisors ideally locally based and able to deliver to customers in the area.

We are supported with modern technology and accessibility to enable flexible and agile working from other work bases or from home and patterns of work, centred on the needs of our customers.

As Health & Safety Risk Advisor you will be focused on delivering health and safety advice and guidance to school-based staff so we particularly welcome applicants with experience of working and undertaking health and safety duties in an educational/school based setting.

To be successful you must:

- Hold the NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent qualification).
- Have effective influencing and negotiating skills
- Demonstrate good interpersonal skills
- Be able to work to deadlines and performance indicators
- Have the ability to work on own initiative and make evidence-based judgements
- Be able to problem solve, find pragmatic solutions in professionally challenging situations

And ideally
- Demonstrate experience of working and undertaking health and safety duties in an educational/school-based setting
- Have a proven track record in delivering customer focused services
- Have experience of undertaking fire risk assessments.

We are committed to delivering excellent services to our clients, so we challenge ourselves and our team to look at ways to continually improve. This requires our team members to think innovatively and be supportive of colleagues which on occasion can be in challenging situations.

In return we can offer you the opportunity to:

- Work for a forward thinking, reputable organisation
- Progress your career through continual professional and personal development
- Deliver services on a commercial basis
- Access a range of benefits including generous leave entitlement, flexible working, a local government pension scheme, salary sacrifice and employee discount benefits.
