Job Description

Are you a hands-on Health & Safety professional looking for a role where you can take real ownership in a fast-paced repairs environment?

This is an opportunity to join a growing Social Housing organisation as a Health & Safety Manager within their in-house Repairs & Maintenance team.

With a Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) now established, you’ll play a key role in driving safety on the ground - working closely with operatives, supervisors and contract managers across live residential environments.

The role is based in Kingston upon Thames, with the majority of sites located within a 30-minute radius across South West London.

About the Role

  • Carry out site inspections and audits across reactive repairs, voids and planned works.
  • Support and coach supervisors to embed safe working practices day-to-day.
  • Ensure Construction Phase Plans are compliant, up to date and actively followed.
  • Focus on key risks including vehicle movements, operative safety in occupied homes, and asbestos awareness.
  • Investigate incidents, identify trends, and implement practical improvements.
  • Work closely with contract managers on contractor assurance and H&S performance.
  • Deliver toolbox talks and hands-on coaching to operational teams.
  • Produce clear reports with actionable insights for stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For

  • Health & Safety experience within Repairs, Maintenance, Construction, Facilities or Social Housing.
  • Either currently in a Manager role, or an Advisor ready to step up.
  • Strong working knowledge of CDM and Construction Phase Plans.
  • Experience in reactive or planned maintenance environments is desirable.
  • Confident communicator, comfortable engaging with operatives and challenging behaviours positively.
  • Practical, visible approach - someone who enjoys being on site.
  • NEBOSH Certificate essential; Diploma desirable.

What’s on Offer

  • Salary: up to £56,000 basic salary
  • 29 days annual leave + bank holidays (with buy/sell option).
  • £360 annual wellbeing allowance.
  • 11% employer pension contribution.
  • Healthcare cash plan.
  • Paid professional memberships + funded CPD.
  • Mental health support and wellbeing initiatives.
  • Interest-free loans and additional lifestyle benefits.
  • Pool vehicles available for site visits.

Why Join?

  • Newly established in-house DLO - opportunity to influence how safety is delivered.
  • Hands-on, operational role with real visibility.
  • Supportive leadership and collaborative culture.
  • Clear opportunity to grow and develop within the role.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a visible impact and be part of a fast-moving operational team, we’d love to hear from you.
