Lead the strategy that keeps our people safe and our residents protected.
We're looking for an experienced and influential Head of Health & Safety to lead and shape our health and safety strategy across PA Housing. This is a pivotal leadership role where you'll drive a positive safety culture, provide expert advice to the Executive Management Team and Board, and ensure we continue to meet the highest standards of compliance while protecting our colleagues, residents, and customers.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead organizational change, influence strategic decision-making, and embed a proactive approach to health and safety that supports safe homes, safe workplaces, and excellent services across the business.
What’s in it for you…
In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:
- High street discount schemes
- Health cash plans
- 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
- Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
- Car leasing scheme
- Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.
