Health & Safety Compliance Manager

37 Hours per Week, Permanent
Make safety practical. Give leaders confidence. Help protect everyone who learns and works here.

Good health and safety is not about adding more paperwork. 

 

It is about understanding where the real risks are, helping people control them properly and making sure important actions do not disappear into a spreadsheet. 

 

As our Health & Safety Compliance Manager, you’ll act as the college’s competent source of health and safety advice. You’ll help leaders and managers understand their responsibilities, test whether arrangements are working and provide clear assurance about where the college is well controlled and where further action is needed. 

 

You’ll work across a varied estate and a wide range of activities. That may include classrooms, workshops, laboratories, construction environments, public spaces, contractors, events and new projects. The risks are different, so your advice will need to be practical, proportionate and grounded in how people actually work. 

 

You’ll lead audits and inspections, investigate significant incidents, oversee key safety arrangements and maintain a clear view of actions and emerging risks. You’ll also help build confidence across the college, supporting managers to make sound decisions rather than treating health and safety as something owned by one central specialist. 

 

This role suits an experienced health and safety professional who can combine technical credibility with good judgement. Someone who can challenge when necessary, explain complex duties clearly and work alongside people to find solutions that are safe and workable.
