Ever feel like you're capable of more than your current health and safety role allows?

If you've got a foundation in health and safety and you're looking to build a career rather than just do a job, we'd love to hear from you.

You’ll join a supportive consultancy where you'll receive hands-on training, mentoring and development from experienced consultants, helping you build a rewarding career in Health & Safety Consultancy.

Junior Health & Safety Consultant

• Location: Swadlincote, Derbyshire (with national travel to client sites)
• Salary: £28,000 - £32,000 depending on experience
• Travel: throughout the UK with occasional overnight stays

About this opportunity

We're working with a growing, independent health and safety consultancy that does things differently.

Their approach isn't about clipboards, box-ticking, or overwhelming clients with unnecessary bureaucracy. Instead, they focus on building lasting relationships, delivering pragmatic advice, and helping businesses create safer, stronger workplaces that put people first.

As part of a close-knit and supportive team, you'll work alongside experienced consultants who are passionate about developing the next generation of health and safety professionals.

You’ll receive hands-on support, mentoring, coaching, and practical exposure to consultancy work, gradually building your confidence and expertise.

What you'll be doing

No two weeks look the same, but you'll be involved in:

• Supporting health and safety consultants with client projects across a range of industries
• Shadowing client visits and learning how to provide practical health and safety advice
• Assisting with risk assessments, safe systems of work, and health and safety documentation
• Supporting the development and delivery of training workshops
• Helping clients improve their health and safety management systems
• Assisting with monitoring, assurance and compliance activities
• Supporting clients through accreditation and certification processes
• Building relationships with clients and learning how consultancy services are delivered
• Developing your technical knowledge and consultancy skills through structured training and mentoring

What we're looking for

We're far more interested in the person than a long list of qualifications. This role has been created for someone ready to take the next step in their career.

You'll ideally have:

• NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent Level 3 Health & Safety qualification
• Experience where health and safety forms part of your current role OR experience in a Health & Safety Coordinator, Administrator, Assistant, Compliance or similar position
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• A full UK valid driving licence and vehicle
• Willingness to travel nationally and occasionally stay away overnight

Most importantly, you'll be:

• Curious and eager to learn
• Comfortable asking questions
• Passionate about helping people stay safe at work
• Positive, approachable and personable
• Open-minded and willing to challenge traditional thinking
• Looking for a long-term opportunity where you can grow

What's on offer?

• A clear pathway into a full Health & Safety Consultant position
• Exposure to a wide range of industries and client environments
• A supportive and collaborative team that genuinely wants you to succeed
• Friendly, family-feel culture where people matter
• Ongoing professional development and career progression
• Pension scheme
• Mileage and business travel expenses
• The chance to be part of an ambitious and growing business where your contribution will make a real difference
