Join our Corporate Health & Safety Team at L&Q:
We’re looking for a Health & Safety Advisor to join our diverse and experienced Corporate Health & Safety (CH&S) team. With around 30 professionals covering workplace safety, construction, fire and building safety, and employee wellbeing, CH&S plays a vital role in shaping a safe and healthy working environment across L&Q.
As part of the second line of defence, our team develops policies, supports risk management, delivers audits, monitors compliance, and promotes best practice.
About the Role
In this role, you’ll provide expert advice and support on a wide range of health and safety topics to frontline staff and managers. You’ll lead and contribute to safety-related projects, working closely with internal teams and external partners.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Promoting high standards of health and safety across all L&Q workplaces
- Maintaining and improving our Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS)
- Designing and delivering training, processing incident reports, and conducting audits
- Monitoring compliance and encouraging safe behaviours
- Building strong relationships across the business and with external stakeholders such as local authorities
- Supporting departmental goals through collaborative and independent work
What you'll bring:
To be considered, you’ll need to demonstrate:
- A NEBOSH General Certificate (minimum) and membership with a recognised health and safety institute
- Proven experience in a health and safety advisory role, ideally in a multi-site or housing environment
- Strong knowledge of occupational health and safety legislation, supported by ongoing professional development
- Confidence using Microsoft tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint) to communicate safety messages through reports, data, and training
We value your approach as much as your qualifications. You’ll be a proactive team player with a hands-on attitude and a commitment to fostering a strong safety culture. A willingness to continue learning and developing is essential.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to make a real difference to the safety and well-being of our staff and residents, we’d love to hear from you.
