This consists of actioning visit requests in a timely manner through triage of potential sites and creation of visit packs in support of Inspectors, ahead of visits. Cases must be created and accurately recorded on the correct corporate system for inspection recording.

Additionally, and irrespective of workstream, team members take on additional responsibilities as set out in the Support Service Guide and within local offices. These include but are not limited to:

Handling priority calls from the emergency services, and members of the public, via Customer Services.

This is an essential requirement for apprenticeship funding and means you must not already hold a similar or higher qualification, be working towards a similar or higher qualification, or be significantly experienced in the Business Administrator modules.

If you hold a similar or higher qualification or, are currently working towards a similar or higher qualification in the Business, Business Management, or Business Administration modules, any offer of employment will be withdrawn.

This means that if you cannot evidence you have this already, you now have the option to complete the Functional Skills or opt-out if you prefer. We wish to encourage learners to continue with Functional Skills, especially if you feel it would be beneficial in improving your literacy or numeracy skills or it may be helpful for your future career ambitions to have an English and Maths qualification but for this pathway it is not mandatory.

For candidates aged 16-18, you will be required to provide evidence of a level 2 equivalent qualification in Maths and English (i.e., GCSE Grade A-C). If you do not hold or are unable to provide evidence of this, you will be required to undertake Functional Skills exams (Level 2 Maths and English) as part of the apprenticeship programme.

Hybrid Working

At HSE, we are proud to be able to offer our people the opportunity to work in a hybrid way which combines working from home and the office. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement, and your allocated office will be your contractual place of work.

If hybrid working is suitable for you and your role, you will be expected to attend the office, or other business-related site, for 60% of your working week. The arrangements will be determined primarily by business need, but personal circumstances and other relevant circumstances will also be taken into account.

Therefore, we would encourage candidates to consider if the commute from home to the office is a feasible distance to travel before making an application. Please note that if you are successful, hybrid working will be discussed prior to taking up the post.
