Role Summary
As a high-profile role, the post holder, in consultation with the Centre Director and Operations Director, will define and implement strategy regarding sustainment and continuous improvement of Health and Safety processes and systems, developing and leading H&S initiatives and innovations, monitoring their effectiveness through performance metrics and benchmarking them against relevant sectors. They are a H&S specialist capable of providing health and safety advice and leading activities to resolve issues for all functional groups in HTRC.
The Health & Safety Manager will report to the Operations Director and have responsibility for leading, establishing and maintaining health and safety standards. Due to the HTRC being located off campus, the post holder must have the expertise and capability to be autonomous, make decisions and take ownership of all H&S related matters, influencing peers to enable the Centre to operate safely and successfully without the close proximity of support structures of the wider university community.
The post is based at Ansty Park, Coventry, but the holder is expected to be able to travel and work on occasions, at the University site in Edgbaston. Due to the relatively flat organisational structure and multi-employer context of the Centre, the post-holder is expected to deliver through influence across functions, organisations and levels within the Centre and the wider University community.
