H&S Director

About the Opportunity
TwoScore is supporting a major UK organisation with the appointment of an H&S Director into a senior leadership position within the business.
We are particularly interested in speaking with established Health & Safety leaders from high-hazard and safety-critical environments, including power, energy, utilities, chemicals, process industries and other heavily regulated operations.
This is a strategic leadership role with a broad remit across Health & Safety, assurance, risk and governance. Working closely with the organisation’s most senior safety and operational leadership, you will provide direction and challenge across a large and complex operational environment.
The position will suit someone who has progressed beyond purely operational H&S leadership and is comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, providing assurance at the highest levels and shaping how a major organisation approaches safety and risk.
