NHS Orkney is currently transforming the Health & Safety Team and as such, this is an exciting time to join and be part of a dynamic and committed team, dedicated to the delivery of high-quality Health & Safety services.

The Health & Safety Officer reports directly to the Health & Safety Lead (NHS Orkney & NHS Shetland) and is based in Orkney (with occasional travel to NHS Shetland). The post holder will have responsibility for ensuring risk assessments and safe systems of work are in place, supporting managers across all NHS Orkney locations to meet their health and safety obligations and providing technical safety advice, coupled with support and delivery of safety related training.

The post holder should have recognised qualifications in the field, be confident in delivering training both remotely and in person and have experience in a previous safety role and ideally, within a healthcare setting.

NHS Orkney is passionate about ensuring that staff are equipped with the right skills to support them in delivering their roles, and to ultimately support the safe delivery of excellent patient care.

If you have a passion for quality and teamwork and want to be part of creating a new way of working, then rise to the challenge and enjoy the opportunity – Orkney and Shetland are great places to live and work.

Orkney offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, great leisure facilities, unique wildlife and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland. To find out more about living and working in Orkney go to www.Orkney.org and/or https://www.orkney.org/life

You will be expected to comply with the Induction Standards and Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers within 3 months of commencing your role – details can be viewed on http://www.hcswtoolkit.nes.scot.nhs.uk/resources/hcsw-standards-and-codes/
