We are committed to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of our staff, students and visitors. An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Health, Safety and Wellbeing Advisor to join our central Health, Safety and Wellbeing (HSW) team.

As HSW Advisor, you will work across the University alongside other advisors and specialists in a wide range of fields, including performing arts, engineering, science and medical fields.

You will support the development and implementation of effective HSW systems and policies, develop and deliver HSW training, perform audits and inspections, undertake risk assessments, report on HSW matters to relevant personnel and committees and support the continual improvement of the University HSW management systems.

You will have substantial experience in a HSW advisory role or in a role where you are managing health, safety and wellbeing matters on a daily basis.
