Job Description:

Health, Safety & Environment Advisor – Manufacturing

Leicester

Circa 40-45k

This company makes bread. The proper stuff. The kind that takes time, skill, and care—not the mass-produced kind that’s forgotten as soon as it’s eaten. They’ve been at it for over a century, but they’re not stuck in the past. With serious investment, cutting-edge facilities, and big ambitions, they’re on a mission to dominate the artisan bread market at scale.

And they need a Health, Safety & Environment Advisor who’s actually going to do stuff—not just point out problems and leave them for someone else to sort.

The Job:

• Work alongside the HSE Manager to drive a safety-first culture across two production sites.
• Be on the ground, keeping health and safety real—not drowning in paperwork.
• Investigate incidents, spot risks before they turn into problems, and find practical solutions.
• Train people, run Toolbox Talks, and make sure safety isn’t just a tick-box exercise.
• Keep policies fresh, relevant, and actually useful.
• Work with engineering teams and contractors to ensure safety is baked into every process.

You:

• A doer, not just a talker. You get things done.
• HSE experience in manufacturing.
• NEBOSH General Certificate and IOSH qualified.
• Comfortable dealing with everyone from the factory floor to the boardroom.
• Persistent—when something needs fixing, you’ll find a way.
• Keep things simple, clear, and effective. No unnecessary fluff.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to hide behind spreadsheets. It’s hands-on, it’s visible, and it’s vital.
