At mhs homes, we’re not just about bricks and mortar – we’re about people. We’re proud to be one of Kent’s largest and most respected housing providers, and right now, we’re looking for a passionate and proactive Health and Safety Trainer to help us build and maintain a strong, positive safety culture across the organisation.
The role:
As our in‑house Health and Safety Trainer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our colleagues are confident, capable, and compliant.

* Committed to maintaining up-to‑date knowledge of relevant legislation, regulations, and best practice.
