Job summary

We're looking for a strategic, forward-thinking leader to take on a pivotal role at the heart of our organisation, leading our risk management and health & safety agenda and helping us deliver safe, high-quality care to our communities.

This is not a traditional operational H&S role. We need someone who can think at system level, influence senior stakeholders, and embed a proactive, intelligence-led approach to risk across a complex organisation.

The role offers hybrid working with a minimum of 2-3 days in the office. We can also offer support with relocation expenses for those looking to relocate to Somerset.

/*generated inline style */
Main duties, tasks & skills required

Acting as the strategic lead for risk management, developing policies, systems, and governance frameworks that support organisational objectives
Owning and evolving the Board Assurance Framework, ensuring it drives meaningful oversight of strategic risks
Providing expert advice to senior leaders and clinicians on complex and emerging risks
Leading a high-performing multi-disciplinary team covering risk, health & safety, and safer moving & handling
Translating data and intelligence into clear, compelling insights for Executive and Board audiences
Building strong partnerships internally and externally to drive system-wide risk awareness and improvement

You'll play a central role in shaping how we understand and manage risk across the organisation, directly influencing safety, quality, and performance.

This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role where your expertise will make a visible difference, both strategically and operationally.

We are proud to foster a diverse, skilled, and inclusive workforce, and we encourage applications from all backgrounds.

Why Somerset? Somerset offers the perfect blend of idyllic countryside, outstanding areas of natural beauty, and breathtaking coastlines, with vibrant cities like Bristol, Bath, and Exeter just a short drive away - and only two hours to London.
