This is a full-time, permanent role with a salary of £43,063 - £47,035 per annum.
About us:
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) is set in the wider county of Berkshire, one of the most economically productive and innovative areas of the country. The borough council – a unitary authority - takes pride in its exceptional team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to the community. RBWM is a unique borough, with huge opportunity given its proximity to London and expanding business sectors, as well as being a major cultural and tourism area which includes international attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse. Given our Royal connections, the eyes of the world are often on us and we continue to rise to the challenge.
This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic Health and Safety Adviser to join the HR Service.
The Role:
We are keen to recruit an individual who is able to provide a first class advice and support service to all Directorates across the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, including the schools that subscribe to our health and safety services. You will work with managers to ensure they meet their statutory and legislative duties and responsibilities regarding all aspects of health and safety relating to employees, students and others that may be affected by the activities of the council.
Your role will involve:
Working in alongside another Health and Safety Adviser, you will be the point of contact for health and safety support, as well as leading the development and improvement of safety management systems and arrangements. You will undertake assurance activities to ensure teams across the council are working in line with legislative requirements, policies, and procedures.
Other key activities will include providing a range of training, carrying out audits, conducting investigations, supporting formal health and safety meetings and working closely with the Property Services and Facilities teams. Partnership working with Trade Unions, the Insurance and Risk team, Occupational Health, Health and Safety Executive and other agencies/stakeholders is also critical.
If you have the qualifications, skills and experience to be part of our friendly and effective team then we would love to hear from you.
What we offer:
32 days annual leave
Flexible working including a hybrid working pattern for a better work-life balance.
Generous Local Government Pension scheme includes life cover (3 times of annual salary); and an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) scheme to enhance your pension provision.
Free employee parking close to the offices.
Give As You Earn scheme.
Instant Reward Scheme to recognise and reward innovative achievement.
Employee Assistance Programme providing counselling, advice and information.
Access to discounts and deals with hundreds of retailers, including discounted gym memberships and travel deals.
RBWM values a collaborative and inclusive work environment, fostering creativity and innovation in all aspects of its operations. As an equal opportunities’ employer, we encourage applications from all as we believe diverse talent makes us stronger.
If you have a disability, are a current or former member of the armed forces or have been part of any formal care system up to the age of 25, you will be guaranteed an interview, should you meet the minimum requirements for the role.
