Job description
This post gives you the platform and scale to improve safety outcomes for thousands of colleagues and to shape how H&S is led and evidenced across directorates. The role sits in CCFP Information Data‑Security, Safety & Resilience (IDSR) service function.
We’re building a modern, data‑informed Health & Safety (H&S) function in CCG and we’re looking for a confident leader who can set direction, influence senior stakeholders and is delivery focused. Reporting to the Head of H&S (G6) in CCFP IDSR, you will lead the delivery of CCG’s H&S improvement programme for visiting activity - turning policy and guidance into consistent practice that keeps people safe. You will own delivery outcomes, lead a small team and work with a wide range of stakeholders, covering CCG directorates, HR, H&S personnel and Trade Unions to embed guidance, capability and assurance. If you thrive on leading through change, communicating with clarity and getting results, we’d love to hear from you.
Key responsibilities:
Lead programme delivery – set direction, priorities and outcomes for CCG’s H&S improvement programme for visiting activity, aligning delivery with the Group’s risk‑reduction goals.
Provide high‑level H&S technical policy advice – give timely, expert advice to directorates and senior leaders, increasing confidence and capability to apply policy and controls in dynamic operational contexts.
Influence and partner at all levels – build trusted relationships across operational and non‑operational business areas, including and not limited to HR H&S, Trade Unions, the HMRC H&S Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) and the HMRC Personal Safety Board (PBS). Engaging with these partners to agree clear actions, plans and embed consistent, practical H&S practice across CCG.
Strengthen governance and assurance – actively contribute to CCG and cross‑HMRC governance forums; use insight and MI to inform decisions, track risk and target improvement at scale.
Lead people and build capability – lead, coach and develop the H&S team and champion wider capability‑building across CCG, so colleagues and line managers have the knowledge, guidance and support to operate safely.
Drive improvement and cultural change – lead cross‑CCG initiatives that lift maturity in risk assessment practice, leadership behaviours, incident reporting, investigation quality and organisational learning.
Contribute to corporate leadership and forward planning – assess the impact of Government policy, legislative change and industry best practice on CCG’s H&S approach, advising on implications for strategy, delivery and assurance.
Working environment and senior contribution
You’ll operate in a large, fast paced public service environment, adapting to changing priorities while maintaining high standards of delivery and professionalism. You may occasionally deputise on H&S delivery matters for IDSR/CCFP senior leaders where appropriate, and you will collaborate across the wider IDSR portfolio when needed.
Person specification
Essential criteria
Communicating and influencing at senior level - proven ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders, simplify complex H&S issues, influence decisions, and communicate with clarity in a large operational environment.
Leading delivery and driving change – a strong track record of leading delivery in complex or multi directorate settings - turning plans into results, managing interdependencies and risks, and embedding consistent practice and behavioural change at scale.
People safety & H&S risk management expertise - practical experience applying Health & Safety legislation, risk assessment and controls in dynamic/frontline or operational contexts (e.g., visiting activity), with evidence of improving risk posture, compliance and organisational capability.
Leadership of people and capability building - experience in leading, coaching and developing people and fostering a positive safety culture; able to build capability across teams and enable colleagues and managers to operate safely and confidently.
