Health and Safety Manager

Health Safety Manager Malton Monday to Friday 08:00 – 17:00 Salary circa £50,000 Are you a Health Safety professional who likes getting things done? We're looking for a Health Safety Manager to join Pro-Pak Foods and play a key role in making sure our people go home safe every day. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk, write policies and wait for other people to make things happen. We need a do-er. Someone who can walk the floor, spot what needs improving, have the right conversations, agree what needs to happen — and then make sure it actually gets done. You'll work closely with people across Operations, Engineering, Quality, HR and the wider business, building strong relationships and making Health Safety something that is understood, owned and acted upon at every level. What will you be doing?

• Leading and developing the Health Safety agenda across the business.
• Identifying risks, finding practical solutions and driving improvements through to completion.
• Completing audits, inspections, investigations and risk assessments — and making sure the resulting actions are followed through.
• Working with managers and colleagues to ensure HS requirements are clearly understood and delivered within agreed timescales.
• Lead/support Investigating incidents and near misses, identifying root causes and implementing meaningful corrective actions.
• Supporting and developing a positive, proactive Health Safety culture.
• Providing clear, practical advice that people can actually use.
• Keeping the business up to date with relevant legislation, standards and best practice.
• Challenging where necessary — but always with the aim of finding a better and safer way of working.
• Tracking actions and holding people accountable for getting things done. What are we looking for? We're looking for a credible, hands-on HS professional who can operate confidently at all levels of an organisation. You'll Be Someone Who
• Has solid Health Safety experience, ideally within a manufacturing, food manufacturing or similarly operational environment. Qualifications NEBOSH or equivalent.
• Is confident working with people on the shop floor as well as senior stakeholders.
• Communicates clearly and builds relationships easily.
• Can influence without relying solely on authority.
• Is organised, pragmatic and commercially aware.
• Doesn't just identify problems — you find solutions and make them happen.
• Is comfortable challenging unsafe behaviours and practices when required.
• Takes ownership, follows through and delivers against deadlines.
• Can turn legislation and technical HS requirements into straightforward, practical actions. Most importantly, you'll be a person who gets things done. If you see something that needs fixing, you won't simply write it into an audit report. You'll work with the people involved, agree the solution, set the deadline and make sure it happens. Why Pro-Pak Foods? This is an opportunity to make a genuine, visible difference to Health Safety across the business. You'll have the opportunity to work with people across all functions, influence how we operate and help shape a culture where Health Safety isn't just a requirement — it's part of how we do things.
