deliver a robust Health and Safety framework and management system across all sites and visitor attractions
be empowered to develop your own ideas and make them become a reality, influencing and effecting change across the National Museum through others.
Knowledge/Experience
The ideal candidate will be a qualified Health and Safety leader who can demonstrate a wide range of experience in a customer-focused environment. You will quickly establish effective working relationships with key stakeholders both internally and externally. You will have a strong sense of responsibility and resilience, and will be able to develop, communicate, and execute plans, anticipate potential risk, and develop effective pragmatic solutions.
You will have:
the ability to lead, motivate, inspire, influence and train others under your own initiative, with your enthusiasm and knowledge of Health and Safety.
a high level of professional knowledge demonstrated by an appropriate professional qualification (CMIOSH, NEBOSH National Diploma or equivalent) and evidence of continuous professional development.
demonstrable experience of developing and delivering a robust Health and Safety framework in a complex customer-facing environment.
We Provide:
The opportunity to be part of a friendly and diverse workplace within a unique heritage environment.
Group pension plan with Royal London (6% employer contributions, 2% employee contributions and death in service benefit).
25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), increasing to 30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) after 5 years’ service.
Free parking.
Occupational sick pay.
Enhanced maternity/adoption and paternity pay.
Flexible working.
Professional membership fees.
Employee Assistance Programme.
Free admission to other national museums and attractions within the reciprocal agreement.
