Regional Health & Safety Manager – London & the South
Field-based | Hybrid (3 days on-site, 2 days home) | Reporting to Head of Health & Safety
We're working with a leading UK student accommodation provider - one of the country's largest, with tens of thousands of students housed across dozens of sites nationwide - to find a Regional Health & Safety Manager to cover London and the South.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced H&S professional to join a well-established support function that keeps a large, multi-site operation running safely and compliantly. You'll work closely with Operations and Estates teams, playing a hands-on role in protecting both staff and residents while embedding a strong safety culture across the region.
The Role
This is a varied, field-based position covering fire, building and health & safety across a large regional portfolio. You'll split your time between supporting site teams day-to-day, leading investigations, preparing for inspections, and reporting into senior leadership.
