Health and Safety Advisor

We're looking for an experienced, adaptable and people-focused Health & Safety Adviser to join our Health & Safety Advisory Service at the University of Chester.

This is an opportunity to work across one of the most diverse and interesting environments in the sector. From teaching and research laboratories to construction projects, student accommodation, events and fieldwork, no two days are the same.

You'll work closely with managers, academics, professional services staff and senior leaders, providing expert advice, influencing positive change and helping to create a safe and healthy environment for our staff, students and visitors.

This role offers far more than compliance monitoring. You'll have the opportunity to influence health and safety culture across a complex organisation, lead and contribute to improvements in our Health & Safety Management System, work on a broad range of projects and challenges across the University, build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels, develop your professional skills and expertise in a highly varied environment, and play a key role in shaping the future of a university with ambitious plans and a rich heritage.

About You:
You'll be a competent health and safety professional who has demonstrable experience within a large, complex UK organisation, holds relevant accreditations and qualifications, can build credibility and influence people at all levels, enjoys variety, problem-solving and working with people, takes a practical and proportionate approach to risk management, and is adaptable, self-motivated and keen to continuously learn and develop.

What We Offer:
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer an attractive pension scheme with significant employer contribution, flexible and hybrid working opportunities, access to university gym and sports facilities, staff wellbeing and support services, excellent on-campus facilities and catering outlets, ongoing professional development and training, and a rewarding role where your work will have visible impact and be recognised.
