This is a strategically important leadership role within our People & Workforce Service. You'll provide expert advice and assurance to senior leaders, lead the development of our health and safety arrangements, and help shape a modern, proactive approach to workforce health and safety . Working collaboratively across services, you will build strong relationships, offer constructive challenge where needed, and support managers to take ownership of their responsibilities with confidence.
We're looking for someone who combines strong technical expertise with excellent people skills. You'll be an engaging leader, able to influence at all levels, translate complex legislation into practical solutions, and bring others with you through coaching, collaboration and a commitment to continuous improvement.
