Are you looking for a health and safety role where your expertise can influence how a whole organisation works? Join the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk as our Health and Safety Adviser and help shape a positive, practical approach to keeping people safe across a varied range of Council services and locations.

This is a key corporate role combining strategic advice with hands on work. Working closely with managers, senior leaders and elected members, you will turn health and safety legislation into clear guidance, develop policies and action plans, and deliver training that helps colleagues put good practice into action. Your remit will also include audits, premises inspections, accident and complaint investigations, and support for the Council's response to critical incidents.

You will bring a NEBOSH Diploma (or relevant degree equivalent), Chartered membership of a relevant professional body such as IOSH or CIEH, and at least three years' practical health and safety experience ideally within a public sector environment. With a sound knowledge of legislation and experience of health and safety at large-scale events, you will be confident explaining complex issues clearly and recommending practical solutions. A full current driving licence and access to a vehicle for work are also required.

If you enjoy building relationships, influencing good practice and making a tangible difference, this is an opportunity to apply your expertise across a broad and varied remit. The role includes some work outside normal office hours, including attendance at large-scale events and responding to health and safety critical incidents.
