• Pivotal role, providing Health and Safety advice and expertise for one of the UK's most trusted Financial Services providers
• Utilise your consulting experience to make an impact
• Field-based position involving both home working and visiting clients' premises across the UK, but namely within the Home Counties area (Oxfordshire / Bedfordshire / Hertfordshire)

As an NFU Mutual Health and Safety consultant, you'll belong to a Risk Management Services (RMS) team that has helped business owners reduce and manage commercial risk for over 30 years.

Health and safety is a key focus of our RMS function and we're looking for a skilled Health and Safety Consultant to join our East region. The team delivers a tailored health and safety consultancy service, helping customers to comply with legislation, and help prevent accidents for their staff, customers, and the public. You'll be working across a wide range of industries, including agriculture, forestry, estates, manufacturing, engineering, and other commercial organisations.
