We’re a global healthcare leader trusted by millions and committed to helping people to live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. Healthcare is changing, and so are we.

Reporting to the Senior Safety Manager, you will provide hands-on technical advice across day-to-day safety activities including risk assessments, audits, incident investigations, project work and regulatory engagement. By working side-by-side with stakeholders, you will strengthen safety capability, drive accountability, and support continuous improvement across the business to ensure safe, effective outcomes for both employees and residents.

  • Clear and concise communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to produce structured documentation and engage stakeholders at all levels 
  • Proactive and self-driven, with a strong track record of improving systems, processes, and safety performance while working collaboratively within a team environment

Why you’ll love it?
