Group Health, Safety and Wellbeing Manager

Job Introduction

What does it take to become a leading health and social care organisation in the UK? It takes people who can turn lives around every day – providing encouragement, delivering innovative services and generally improving life for individuals with a learning disability, those affected by drug or alcohol misuse or mental health problems. But it’s not just our front-line teams that make a difference. So do our dedicated professionals who support our operational teams with the vital work we do. And that’s where you can come in.

Turning Point is looking to enhance its Health, Safety and Wellbeing agenda for the people we support and colleagues and embed a positive learning and improvement culture. We are therefore excited to share that we are looking for candidates to help us take this forward as part of a new role as Group Health, Safety & Wellbeing Manager.

Please note that to be considered for this role, you need to have a background in health and social care or related sector.

Main Responsibilities

You will collaborate with our National/Functional Heads, senior managers and Board members, the People Team and the Head of Wellbeing to identify current and emerging organisational strategic risk priorities pertinent to Health, Safety & Wellbeing, making recommendations to mitigate risks and ensuring appropriate strategies and plans are developed and implemented.

As much of the Health, Safety and Wellbeing agenda is delivered through others, in this role you will work with colleagues to enable a proactive, meaningful and effective Health, Safety and Wellbeing culture, including behaviours. This will be done through inspiring leadership, engaging and influencing others.

You will drive the use of technology to enhance reporting. Furthermore, you will monitor and analyse internal and external insights, regulatory and legislative changes to identify current and future trends, risks, issues, opportunities for continuous improvement, and make recommendations to senior managers and Board members to inform the business planning process.

The role includes team management, developing and maintaining an effective network of health and safety representatives, policies, procedures, risk management with controls, mitigations and assurance to deliver the Health, Safety & Wellbeing strategy and organisational priorities.

You will also be a manager in the Risk and Assurance Team where this function sits.

This role will require travel to our national services and our Manchester/London offices.

The Ideal Candidate

You must have significant experience in a proactive senior leadership health and safety role, advising and influencing senior managers and Board members at a strategic level.

Having a relevant degree or professional qualification for example NEBOSH (Diploma level), is essential.

You will also have a proven track record of developing and implementing impactful health, safety and wellbeing organisational strategies and interventions.

Experience of leading a team to deliver strategic priorities is essential, as is a background in health and social care or related sector.

You will also have experience of developing and embedding organisational health and safety reporting systems and governance, and will have a proven ability to use data, insights and analysis to identify learnings, risks and opportunities, and make appropriate recommendations.

Additionally, you will be an effective communicator with strong inspirational leadership skills to drive and embed change.

Ideally you will have experience of handling customer feedback specifically complaints and also associated experience of liaising with external experts.
