A little bit about what we are looking for...

Are you ready to take on a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and well-being of our organisation and its community? Join us as our new Head of Health & Safety and play a crucial part in driving innovation and excellence in risk management.

At PA Housing, we are committed to safeguarding our residents and colleagues while delivering exceptional service. As our Head of Health & Safety, you will have the opportunity to lead the charge in developing and implementing cutting-edge strategies to mitigate risks and foster a culture of safety across our organisation.

We're on the hunt for a fearless leader who's ready to shake things up and drive change from the ground up. Someone who thrives on both hands-on involvement and strategic planning. You'll need to be someone who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and dive into our communities, whilst also providing strong leadership and direction; shaping our overall health and safety initiatives for our residents and colleagues.

We embrace the future of work with our hybrid working model, offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately 2-3 days per week in the office with the remainder being from the comfort of your own home. During your probation and training, we may request more office presence to ensure you feel fully supported and equipped for success. Your well-being and confidence in your role are paramount to us, and we're committed to providing the flexibility you need to excel. Of course if you'd prefer to be in the office more, then that is completely fine with us too
