Interim Health & Safety Manager

Contract: Interim, 2-3 months - inside IR35

Start: Immediate

Location: Sevenoaks

Hours: Full-time on site

We are currently seeking an experienced Interim Health & Safety Manager to provide immediate support to an organisation operating within the education/public sector.

This is an initial 2-3 month interim assignment, with an immediate start required. The successful candidate will take responsibility for reviewing and strengthening health and safety arrangements, ensuring appropriate compliance with legislation, policies and best practice, and providing practical advice to senior leadership and operational teams.

Experience within an education, school, local authority or wider public-sector environment would be highly beneficial, although candidates with strong transferable Health & Safety experience from other regulated environments will also be considered.
