We have two exciting vacancies for forward-thinking, motivated and passionate Senior Corporate Health and Safety Officers.

Our Corporate Health and Safety Service provides essential work to ensure that an effective management system is in place to control the health and safety risks associated with the diverse range of services that the Council provides. Accordingly, one of the key roles of the Service is to help maintain a positive health and safety culture within the Council so that all necessary procedures and practices are adhered to.
