As part of our continued growth, we are expanding our Safety Team and are looking for a Health & Safety Technical Assistant to support our Group Health and Safety Director. This is not a traditional administrative role. The successful candidate will sit as part of the Health and Safety Senior Leadership Team, acting as the link between internal and external stakeholders, coordinating communication and campaigns, supporting project delivery, and providing essential administrative and analytical support as needed. The role will play a full part within the Senior Leadership Team to help deliver first class health, safety and wellbeing services to become Safer Every Day.
No previous experience in the field of Health and Safety is required but experience of project delivery, working with stakeholders at all levels, operating with discretion to handle sensitive information, an eye for detail and a willingness to play a pivotal part in a busy and dynamic senior team are all vital.
What you’ll be doing:
* Provide administrative support to the Group Health & Safety Director and senior team, including managing inbound queries and handling departmental procurement.
* Prepare quality reports and presentations that balance technical information against giving clear messages and narrative to highlight opportunities and drive improvement.
* Analyse data using tools such as Power BI and AI, seeking improvement opportunities through the identification of trends and patterns.
* Coordinate senior level meetings working with administrators from across the business to support the Chair and ensure that attendees are organised and have the correct information.
* Contribute to internal Health & Safety communications and deliver projects.
