HSE Inspector

HSE Recruitment are proud to be working with the Government of Jersey to find them three Health and Safety Inspectors.


At just 5x9 miles, Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands. It blends that familiar English environment with a dash of European flair to create a unique experience of rich countryside and breathtaking coastal views, sweeping beaches and hidden-away bays. It offers something for everyone. The opportunity to relocate here isn’t just the chance to live in a beautiful location but to be part of a community who are full of pride and passion, to work as part of a small collaborative team, to have the freedom to make decisions and to be on the pulse of what is happening in the area.


These opportunities have come up following two retirements in the team earlier this year. On the Island you will work as part of a team of 4 inspectors reporting into the Director of Health and Safety. You will be responsible for the delivery of the Health and Safety Inspectorate’s strategic policy and priorities to promote and ensure compliance with statutory standards for the working population of the Island, and others who may be affected by working activities, to ensure their health and safety. Where necessary enforce the relevant statutory provisions through the use of formal legal sanctions.


You won’t specialise in certain sectors or locations, as you would on mainland UK, so your days will vary across different industries. Thus giving you a lot more autonomy than in the UK and the ability to influence both on the political and legislative side, drive initiatives, writing your own guidance, creating website content and setting the priorities. You can get much more involved and can really make a difference here. A typical day starts and finishes in the office with site visits done throughout the day, which is one of the huge benefits of it being a small Island. You can build up relationships quickly whilst not compromising on your work life balance.
