Description

Job Title: Health & Safety Advisor

Location: Blantyre

Salary: Up to £34,000 + strong benefits package

The Opportunity

This is a genuine entry point into a long-term career in Health & Safety, but it comes with a clear expectation:

You must already have some exposure to Health & Safety in practice or education

That could be through:

  • A relevant degree with practical projects or placements
  • Hands-on involvement in safety responsibilities within a manufacturing or operational role

This is not a role for someone starting from zero.

You'll be supporting an experienced SHE Manager across multiple sites, gaining real exposure to audits, investigations, compliance and day-to-day safety operations.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting risk assessments and follow-up actions
  • Assisting with incident and near miss investigations
  • Maintaining SHE systems and documentation
  • Supporting audits and compliance checks
  • Contributing to reporting and performance tracking
  • Working with site teams to improve safety standards

What You Must Have

  • Some practical exposure to Health & Safety (non-negotiable)
  • Either:
    • A relevant degree (H&S / Environmental), OR
    • Experience in manufacturing/operations with H&S responsibilities
  • Understanding of risk assessments or safety processes
  • Confidence to challenge and speak up on site
  • Strong organisation and attention to detail

Important to Know Before Applying

This role includes a strong administrative and support element.

It is best suited to someone:

  • Early in their career
  • Looking to learn and develop
  • Comfortable getting involved in the detail

It will not suit:

  • Candidates with no H&S exposure
  • Highly experienced or senior H&S professionals

What's On Offer

  • 25 days holiday + 9 bank holidays
  • Enhanced pension (7% employer contribution)
  • Life cover (4x salary)
  • Annual bonus potential
  • Health cash plan
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Enhanced parental policies
  • Professional fees covered (approval basis)
  • Salary sacrifice schemes
  • Additional vouchers and perks
