Ethical Practice Specialist (Investigator) 12 month FTC
The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is a leading global organisation that provides health, safety, and environmental qualifications.
We aim to enable and inspire the world of work and wider environment to be a safer and healthier place. Our mission is to save lives and protect people at work through offering world-class and accessible health, safety, environmental, risk and wellbeing qualifications, and services that address the changing and emerging risks in the global workplace.
NEBOSH’s Ethical Practice team plays a critical role in protecting the integrity of our qualifications and assessments by carrying out activities to detect and deter malpractice.
We are currently looking for an Ethical Practice Specialist to join our investigatory team (on a 12 month fixed term basis) and help us protect the integrity of NEBOSH’s qualifications by detecting, investigating, and deterring malpractice.
The role
The Ethical Practice Specialist is responsible for carrying out ethical practice investigations and tasks accurately, consistently, and in accordance with NEBOSH’s policies and standards. The role holder is also responsible for making robust, evidence-based recommendations about sanctions when evidence of malpractice is found. The Ethical Practice Specialist will deliver and support NEBOSH’s programme of activities to detect and deter malpractice.
The role-holder will be responsible for managing their own portfolio of investigations, across NEBOSH’s qualification assessments, in a busy area of work. The role requires excellent writing and analytical skills, high attention to detail, and an enquiring mind.
