H&S Coordinator
Greater Manchester
c.£30,000
Monday – Friday, 37.5 hours a week.
Let’s be frank, managing Health, Safety, Environmental and Training is a lot of work, especially for one person. That’s why they’re looking for you.
The Role
This is a newly created role designed to bring some well needed support to the HSE Manager. You’ll be 50/50 between factory floor and admin. Half the time, you’ll be engaging with the shop floor teams – real conversations, not just clipboard-waving. The other half? Supporting with things like:
- Risk assessments.
- Accident reports
- Training matrices & inductions.
- Environmental and Sustainability plans.
And, because this isn’t just about ticking boxes, you’ll help foster a culture where health and safety is something people want to engage with, not something they feel is done to them. This food manufacturer has a couple of business units that are worlds apart. It’s not just a quirky fact; it reflects the challenge. One unit has decent H&S engagement already, the other… not so much. That’s where you’ll make a difference.
The Good News
This is a business where senior managers actually get H&S. There’s buy-in from the top, so your efforts won’t hit a wall of resistance. Yes, there’s plenty to fix – but that’s what makes it interesting. The systems need updating, and the processes need love. If you enjoy taking something a bit neglected and turning it into a well-oiled machine, this is your playground.
About You
Do you need a background in food manufacturing? Not necessarily, however it would be extremely beneficial. What you do need is a solid grasp of health and safety and at minimum, a NEBOSH certificate. You’ll need to be someone who can talk to anyone – from senior managers to production teams. You can spot what needs fixing, and you’ve got the drive to make it happen.
The Process
We’re approaching Christmas, and we all know what that means… recruitment processes slow down. This process, however, will be sorted before Christmas. So, get your application in, let us guide you through the two interview stages and secure you the job offer. You can then pour that first eggnog, put your feet up and stick Home Alone on, safe in the knowledge that you’ve got an exciting new role heading into the New Year.
If you’re a proactive H&S professional who’s fed up with the same old routine and fancies working with a team that’s ready to make real changes, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now, and let’s get started.
