About our Organisation
The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of
human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues
in isolation.
We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we
support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn’t do any of this without
our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world
where it’s needed the most.
About the Opportunity
We want you to feel passionate and care as much as we do about our colleagues’ health, safety,
and wellbeing as well as what we do as a Group. We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive
HSE Manager who will lead on all matters relating to health, safety, wellbeing and the
environment, working with colleagues across the Group, including our commercial subsidiaries
Soil Association Certification and Exchange. We undertake a broad range of activities that span
working from our offices and at home, running external events with participants ranging from
members of the public to schoolchildren to farmers, and spending significant time working with
clients in factories, farms, and forests across the UK and overseas. We aspire for everyone
involved in these activities to finish their working day as or even healthier than when they
began. We are committed to reducing our environmental impacts and further embedding
sustainability into all our working activities and culture.
About You
You will be a qualified health and safety professional capable of providing clear,
authoritative, and practical advice influencing hearts and minds constructively and
enthusiastically at all levels of the organisation. You will bring a thoroughness to your work
that ensures we comply with our employer responsibilities and operate a quality approach to our
health and safety system. You must be able to show the personal qualities and skills that will
influence behaviour change and help us build a safety-first culture. You will be passionate
about sustainability and may have prior experience working with environmental management
systems but, if not, you will be keen to expand your knowledge of this topic, and you will be
able to demonstrate how your career has equipped you with the skills to take on a different
area of responsibility.
Please note that if you are successful in your application to the role any offer of employment
will be subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
