Are you a detail-driven H&S professional who wants ownership of compliance across a diverse property portfolio? We're looking for a Health and Safety Manager to lead health and safety across our student accommodation, private rental, commercial units and development projects.
This is a broad, hands-on compliance role. You'll own the full statutory testing and certification calendar — gas safety, electrical testing, EPCs, fire safety, PAT testing and HMO licensing — across multiple sites, working closely with site managers, contractors, consultants and senior management to keep every property compliant, certified and safe.
As a growing SME, you'll work closely with our senior leaders and have real visibility across the business. Budget approvals, contractor sign-offs and key expenditure decisions go through the directors, so this isn't a role with independent budget authority — key spending decisions are signed off at director level - but if you're comfortable working within that framework, you'll find ownership of the H&S function and real scope to make the role your own.
What you'll be doing:
- Managing the compliance diary so all statutory testing and servicing is quoted, booked and completed ahead of due dates
- Owning fire safety and evacuation procedures across all sites, including annual fire drills with Leicester Fire Service
- Keeping risk assessments, RAMS and public liability documentation current and centrally recorded
- Sourcing and managing contractors — obtaining quotes, checking documentation and presenting recommendations to the Managing Director
- Carrying out monthly site inspections and audits, reporting findings and driving remedial works through to completion
- Monitoring EICRs, EPCs and HMO licensing across the full portfolio
- Attending council and fire service inspections and acting as the go-to for escalated H&S issues
- Staying on top of legislative changes and communicating updates to teams and tenants
- Presenting compliance reporting at senior level
About you:
- A NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent H&S qualification is preferred, though we welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate solid, hands-on H&S experience in a similar environment
- IOSH membership is preferred — candidates with relevant experience and a commitment to professional standards will be considered
- NEBOSH Fire Safety Certificate or fire risk assessment training would be a real advantage
- Proven H&S experience, ideally within property, residential lettings, facilities or construction
- Exceptionally organised with sharp attention to detail
- A confident communicator, comfortable dealing with contractors, consultants, local authorities and directors alike
- Practical and proactive — you chase things down rather than waiting to be asked
- Comfortable in a fast-paced SME where you'll manage multiple sites and shifting priorities
- Full UK driving licence for site visits across the portfolio
