Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing practical Health & Safety and compliance advice to managers
- Supporting safe systems of work and promoting a positive safety culture
- Carrying out planned Health & Safety inspections and internal compliance audits
- Coordinating workplace inspections across company sites
- Reviewing risk assessments, COSHH assessments and Safe Systems of Work
- Coordinating statutory compliance requirements, including fire safety and electrical inspections
- Supporting investigations into accidents, near misses and environmental incidents
- Identifying root causes and helping ensure corrective actions are completed
- Coordinating Health & Safety training and delivering Toolbox Talks where appropriate
- Supporting employee inductions and coaching managers and supervisors
- Helping maintain Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems, including ISO 45001 and ISO 14001

About you
We are looking for someone who can combine sound technical knowledge with a practical approach. You'll be comfortable working with managers and operational teams, explaining requirements clearly and helping people find workable solutions rather than simply telling them what the rules say. You will need:
- NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent
- Previous experience providing practical Health & Safety support within an operational environment
- Good knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation
- Strong organisational and administrative skills
- Confident communication and relationship-building skills
- The ability to influence people at different levels of a business
- Good report writing and IT skills
- A full UK driving licence
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent, operational H&S experience, UK legislation knowledge and a full UK driving licence are all listed as essential requirements in the role profile.
Experience within waste, recycling, manufacturing or logistics would be particularly useful, as would experience in a multi-site environment, supporting ISO management systems or holding an Internal Auditor qualification.
The opportunity
This is a varied role where you will have the chance to work closely with the people responsible for operations rather than sitting at a distance from the day-to-day running of the business. You will be joining Fresh Start Waste Services in a position where your knowledge and input will genuinely matter, helping the business maintain high standards while continuing to strengthen its approach to Health & Safety and compliance.
