Every day, our lawyers work with clients, giving them guidance on how to stay compliant with health and safety law, advising them on what to do if they face regulatory action and arranging representation in the event of a court appearance. Because there are as many different cases as there are businesses, our legal teams need agile thinking and creative solutions to secure the best outcomes for our clients.  

Now we need a health and safety consultant to become part of that process, deploying their extensive knowledge of health and safety legislation, regulation and best practice to provide comprehensive and timely advice to our clients, helping them identify, manage and mitigate their H&S risks.

The role

You’ll be putting your wide knowledge of health and safety law and regulation to good use, providing advisory and consultancy services through rradarstation (our team of specialist legal advisers), explaining the way that health and safety law affects our clients and working alongside our teams of solicitors when needed if there is an ongoing enquiry, investigation or prosecution.

In this role, you’ll work with businesses, building strong client relationships based on trust and expertise, undertaking effective fact-finding to discover what our clients need and the challenges they face. From this, you’ll give clients access to other key rradar services they’ll need and appreciate.

During your work, you’ll undertake H&S compliance reviews, workplace assessments and audits for businesses covering a very wide range of sectors and sizes, auditing and evaluating current levels of compliance, highlighting risks and making recommendations for improvements.

Your skills profile

Working with our wide and varied client base means you’ll need excellent communication and organisational skills. As no two days are the same, we’re looking for someone who can show great initiative, take on new tasks and be wholly flexible in their approach.

You’ll also have:

• Chartered IOSH Membership or IIRSM
• A recognised Diploma in H&S
• A broad background and experience in H&S, giving you the confidence to act in an advisory capacity to clients up to Director level
• Broad sector experience,
• A good understanding of H&S Law
• Knowledge of British Standards
• Knowledge of H&S Management Systems
• Knowledge and experience in the design and evaluation of training content (multimedia)
• A high level of competence facilitating engaging training
• Knowledge and experience in an auditing capacity, preferably as a lead auditor

It would be great if, in addition to these, you also had:

• Membership of CIEH
• Audit qualification
• Additional qualifications through CPD
• Current, clean, driving licence
• Environmental experience
• Former HSE / LA regulatory inspector
• Extensive client relationship and regulatory experience

Why rradar

Established in 2012, rradar is a specialist litigation and commercial law firm. In ten years, we have grown to over 140 people over four office locations and represent a wide range of clients, from small owner-managed businesses to national charities and large multi-national corporates. All of our clients need representation when things go wrong, and guidance and advice on how to avoid things going wrong in the first place. If you are used to the traditional legal model and the long road to partnership, you are in for a surprise. We operate a different model that will offer opportunities to develop your skills in different areas of the business.

Agile working 

Following the lifting of the government’s work from home mandate, rradar has taken the opportunity to look again at how its working model operates.

We recognise the importance of in-person culture and the value of collaboration and cross-team learning within and across the business. It helps drive our innovation, service and product development for our clients.

With this in mind, we have now introduced fully agile working, where our people will be able to decide which days they attend the office “with purpose”, taking into consideration the needs of the business, clients, partners and their team.
