Health, Safety & Environment Advisor - Manufacturing

Leicester

Circa 40-45k

This company makes bread. The proper stuff. The kind that takes time, skill, and care—not the mass-produced kind that's forgotten as soon as it's eaten. They've been at it for over a century, but they're not stuck in the past. With serious investment, cutting-edge facilities, and big ambitions, they're on a mission to dominate the artisan bread market at scale.

And they need a Health, Safety & Environment Advisor who's actually going to do stuff—not just point out problems and leave them for someone else to sort.

The Job:

Work alongside the HSE Manager to drive a safety-first culture across two production sites.

Be on the ground, keeping health and safety real—not drowning in paperwork.

Investigate incidents, spot risks before they turn into problems, and find practical solutions.

Train people, run Toolbox Talks, and make sure safety isn't just a tick-box exercise.

Keep policies fresh, relevant, and actually useful.

Work with engineering teams and contractors to ensure safety is baked into every process.

You:

A doer, not just a talker. You get things done.

HSE experience in manufacturing.

NEBOSH General Certificate and IOSH qualified.

Comfortable dealing with everyone from the factory floor to the boardroom.

Persistent—when something needs fixing, you'll find a way.

Keep things simple, clear, and effective. No unnecessary fluff.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to hide behind spreadsheets. It's hands-on, it's visible, and it's vital.
