Health & Safety Manager

Job description

Health & Safety Manager

Cambridgeshire

£50,000 - £55,000 + benefits

Many Health & Safety Managers inherit existing systems. This role offers a rare chance to develop your own from scratch.

A forward-thinking food manufacturer is seeking a Health & Safety Manager to raise standards and shape the function. Reporting directly to the Senior Leadership Team, you will take full ownership of health and safety strategy and delivery.

While ensuring compliance with PUWER, COSHH, RIDDOR and DSEAR regulations, your wider goals will include:

• Building a genuine safety culture that employees actively support, not just tolerate
• Coaching managers to lead confidently on health and safety
• Encouraging near-miss reporting by fostering trust and openness
• Keeping the site audit-ready daily, making audits routine and stress-free

What you will bring:

• Significant Health & Safety experience in food manufacturing or FMCG
• NEBOSH Diploma or an equivalent qualification
• Chartered IOSH status is advantageous

What you will receive:

• A competitive salary of £50,000 - £55,000, depending on experience
• An exciting, newly created role with genuine strategic responsibility
• A seat at the senior leadership table

If you prefer maintaining spreadsheets over shaping strategy, this role isn’t for you. However, if you want to build a health and safety function from the ground up, we encourage you to apply or contact me for a confidential conversation.

Please call Owen on (phone number removed).
