Virginia Hayward Ltd. is an innovative and fast paced retail / wholesale / production / logistics business. To put us into one category would be to veil the scope of this challenging and rewarding role.
Based in the lovely North Dorset town of Shaftesbury we are seeking a Health & Safety Manager to join our business. You will be the H&S representative across our sites, helping to strengthen and improve everything from behaviours to systems while working as part of a close knit H&S committee who are collaborative in their approach and want to continuously improve.
Due to the heavily seasonal nature of our business we have over 80 staff across two sites between January and July with those numbers rising in excess of 250 between July and December.
We not only have a long standing heritage in our market but we have invested heavily in safety and there is a very strong H&S committee to support the incumbent. After a few challenging yet positive years our sites need a strong leader who is adaptable and flexible to the fast paced nature of our environment.
This role would suit an experienced manager already working on similar sized sites who wants accountability. You will have exposure to a diverse risk profile and will be challenged continuously here in a positive way. It will be your role to challenge behaviours in the right way, continually improve the systems, processes, procedures and behaviours and ensure the company are compliant with all regulations. You will wear all hats from administrative to dealing with senior managers and everything in between.
