Help Shape the Future of Health, Safety and Wellbeing at One of the World's Leading Universities

At UCL (University College London), we are driven by a simple but powerful purpose: to transform how the world is understood, how knowledge is created, and how global challenges are solved.

We are seeking an exceptional leader to become our next Director of Health & Safety—a critical executive appointment that will shape the strategic direction of health, safety and organisational resilience across one of the most complex and diverse institutions in the UK.

This is far more than a compliance role. It is an opportunity to influence culture, drive meaningful change, and ensure that safety excellence is embedded across world-leading research, teaching, healthcare partnerships, laboratories, specialist facilities and one of the largest university estates in the country.

Salary up to £130,000 according to experience | London | Hybrid Working (3 days per week on campus)

Operational Oversight – Lead specialist safety functions including radiation protection and biological safety
Change Delivery – Drive impactful programmes that strengthen accountability, governance and resilience
Stakeholder Engagement – Translate complex risk and regulatory issues into clear, actionable insights for diverse audiences

About you

We’re looking for a strategic, visible and credible leader who can operate confidently at executive level while driving delivery through empowered teams.

Essential Experience & Expertise

Chartered Health & Safety professional (CMIOSH / CFIOSH)
NEBOSH Level 6 Diploma, postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience
Significant leadership experience in a large, complex organisation
Deep knowledge of UK health & safety legislation and regulatory frameworks
Track record of aligning safety strategy with organisational performance
Experience influencing at Board / Executive level
Strong leadership capability within complex, matrixed environments

Desirable

Experience embedding ISO 45001 safety management systems
Proven delivery of large-scale safety transformation programmes
