Health & Safety Manager
Our client is a fast-growing and ambitious tour operator group seeking an experienced Health & Safety Manager to join their team.
As a hugely successful tour operator group, they offer holidays worldwide, working with thousands of hotels and ground-service providers through a combination of direct contracts, bed banks, wholesalers and Destination Management Companies (DMCs).
The successful candidate will take the lead on the day-to-day implementation of customer Health & Safety across the Group, working closely with the external Health & Safety advisor to develop, refine and embed policies and procedures throughout the business.
Health & Safety is managed remotely and at scale, utilising third-party H&S providers, audit systems and supplier partnerships. While occasional site visits may be required, this is not a property-based role, and UK hotels are not the primary focus.
To be considered for this position, previous experience in a similar Health & Safety role is essential, with experience in the travel industry being a distinct advantage.
In return, our client offers a competitive salary of up to £45,000, alongside an excellent benefits package. The role can be based in either our client's Horsham or Chester office, with hybrid working available.
