Health And Safety Manager
Health & Safety Manager
Pharmaceutical / Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Environment
An opportunity to join a business at an exciting pivotal stage in its evolution.
Following a divestiture from a global parent organisation, the site is transitioning into an independent phase—building its own systems, shaping its operational culture, and embedding a health and safety framework that already demonstrates strong momentum. This dynamic, entrepreneurial environment benefits from experienced leadership and genuine business buy-in.
Health & Safety is not an afterthought here. Over the last 18 months, the site has made significant progress, and this role will focus on nurturing that growth while helping define the future direction.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Site Director, this role involves:
- Guiding the site through change, including the establishment of independent H&S systems
- Influencing decisions balancing global and local requirements
- Collaborating with colleagues across the UK and US
- Demanding visibility, trust, and autonomy, making it ideal for someone who thrives on stakeholder engagement, soft influence, and building collaborative relationships rather than enforcing compliance
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.
Additionally, you’ll support and develop a junior H&S colleague, providing mentorship and establishing industry standards in a supportive environment without heavy managerial oversight.
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- Proven experience in Health & Safety, specifically within pharma, biologics, or sterile/aseptic manufacturing
- Strong understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing, with a preference for experience in biologics (though transition through manufacturing process upskilling is open to applicants)

- Prior people leadership (not mandatory but advantageous)
Examples of relevant experience include:
- Health & safety risk assessment
- Pharmaceutical workflow optimisation (e.g., aseptic processing, cell culture, cleanroom practice, vaccine manufacturing)
- Supporting compliant culture in regulated environments with high-threshold standards
