What does it take to become a leading health and social care organisation in the UK? It takes people who can turn lives around every day – providing encouragement, delivering innovative services and generally improving life for individuals with a learning disability, those affected by drug or alcohol misuse or mental health problems. So do our dedicated professionals who support our operational teams with the vital work we do. Turning Point is looking to enhance its Health, Safety and Wellbeing agenda for the people we support and colleagues, and embed a positive learning and improvement culture. We are therefore excited to share that we are looking for candidates to help us take this forward as part of a new role as Senior Health, Safety & Wellbeing Manager.
You will collaborate with our National/Functional Heads and Board members, the People Team and the Head of Wellbeing to identify current and emerging organisational strategic risk priorities pertinent to Health, Safety & Wellbeing, making recommendations to mitigate risks and ensuring appropriate strategies and plans are developed and implemented.
As much of the Health, Safety and Wellbeing agenda is delivered through others, in this role you will work with colleagues to enable a proactive, meaningful and effective Health, Safety and Wellbeing culture, including behaviours. Furthermore, you will monitor and analyse internal and external insights, regulatory and legislative changes to identify current and future trends, risks, issues, opportunities for continuous improvement, and make recommendations to Senior Managers and Board members to inform the business planning process.
The role includes team management, developing and maintaining an effective network of health and safety representatives, policies, procedures, risk management with controls, mitigations and assurance to deliver the Health, Safety & Wellbeing strategy and organisational priorities.
This role will require travel to our national services and our Manchester/London offices.
You must have significant experience in a proactive senior leadership health and safety role, advising and influencing senior managers and Board members at a strategic level.
Having a relevant degree or professional qualification for example NEBOSH, is essential.
You will also have a proven track record of developing and implementing impactful health, safety and wellbeing organisational strategies and interventions.
You will also have experience of developing and embedding organisational health and safety reporting systems and governance, and will have a proven ability to use data, insights and analysis to identify learnings, risks and opportunities, and make appropriate recommendations.
Ideally you will have experience of handling customer feedback specifically complaints and also associated experience of liaising with external experts.
As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.
We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.
You will get 34 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 36 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
