About the role
Are you passionate about creating safe, supportive, and compliant workplaces where people can thrive? We’re looking for a Workplace Compliance Manager to champion health and safety across JRF and our Group Centre.
In this pivotal role, you’ll be the driving force behind our health and safety culture working closely with the Workplace Lead and our external H&S partner to ensure we not only meet compliance obligations, but also embed a positive, proactive approach across all teams and buildings.
You’ll manage and promote adherence to health and safety policies, support all departments in completing their health and safety tasks on time and track and report their progress accurately. For the Homestead Park and Workplace Teams, you’ll have direct responsibility for managing compliance, risk areas include a busy public park and landscaping team, community events, a number of office buildings and their safe and effective operational management.
About you
As our Workplace Compliance Manager, we’d like you to…
Hold a NEBOSH diploma (minimum required qualification)
Have proven experience in health and safety management or a similar role, ideally including horticulture, events and facilities/operational management.
Have excellent knowledge of current health and safety legislation and best practices.
Have strong communication and interpersonal skills, able to collaborate with internal teams and external providers.
Be experienced conducting risk assessments and implementing appropriate safety measures tailored specifically to the situational risk.
Be familiar with administrating a health and safety management system.
Have experience managing improvement works and projects, ensuring they are completed within budget and timescales, and adhering to health and safety regulations.
How to apply
If you share our passion and this role sounds like you, then we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
Please submit your CV and supporting information via our online application platform.
The closing date for applications is 30th September 2025.
Shortlisted applicants will first be invited to a brief 15-minute Microsoft Teams call on Wednesday 9th October (AM). This will be followed by full interviews taking place on Monday 13th October 2025.
We reserve the right to bring the closing date forward should enough quality applications be received prior to the current closing date.
Additional Information
Applications are welcome from all, regardless of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion or belief, race, sex, sexual orientation, trans status or socioeconomic background.
We positively encourage applications from people from marginalised backgrounds, including but not limited to those with experience of living in poverty.
We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation and operate an anonymised recruitment process so that bias is eliminated from the shortlisting process.
In support of our approach to flexible working, we are happy to receive applications from those seeking full-time employment, as well as those who may want to share the role on a part-time basis. When making your application, please state whether you want to be considered for either full or part-time work and, if part-time, the number of hours per week you would be looking for.
At JRF we’re at our best when we’re continually building on trust, showing we care and making a difference – and hope others will do the same. So, for those roles which allow it, we’re developing a more blended approach to how and where you work. This means you can expect to work flexibly between the office and home (with an expectation of two days a week in your home office).
We encourage you to read our EVP, which is located here: https://jrf-jrht-brand.frontify.com/share/7C1kD2FusMtEVnje2ijA
