The English Heritage portfolio includes offices, visitor attractions, stores and residential properties. Working within the Safety and Risk Team, that includes H&S, fire, emergency planning and security experts, you will provide strategic leadership and specialist advice to develop and implement a safety compliance policy and programme. This programme will include auditing, managing an on-going review of management standards, reporting on trends and actions and supporting and training staff to help improve competency and achieve compliance with internal policies, legal requirements and industry best practice.

Your problem solving ability will stand you in good stead with the challenges managing safety and risk in the historic built environment brings. Communication, influencing and collaboration are essential skills to embedding a culture of incident prevention and shared responsibility. Report writing and analytical skills are required to ensure the urgent matters are escalated and don`t get overlooked. You will have a NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent) and be a Graduate or Chartered Member of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (or equivalent) with demonstrable evidence of CPD.
