Interim Health & Safety Programme Director
Major UK heavy industrial operation - Fast paced change programme - On-site - £900-1200 pd
A significant UK industrial business operating at scale is seeking an experienced Interim Health & Safety Programme Director to join at a pivotal moment in its performance improvement journey.
This is a strategic leadership role, not an operational one. The business has a capable and dedicated H&S team who are performing well, and who now need senior strategic direction to help them move to the next level and sustain continued improvement over the long term.
The opportunity
- Lead the development and execution of a long-term, sustainable health & safety improvement programme
- Identify and deliver high impact quick wins that demonstrate early momentum and build confidence across the organisation
- Work directly with operational teams and plant directors who are genuinely engaged in change
- Partner with the executive team to shape and support a broader organisational turnaround
- Help move the business from a reactive posture to a proactive, embedded safety culture
What we're looking for
- Proven track record as a senior H&S leader in complex, high-hazard industrial environments
- A strategist first, someone who can set direction, inspire leaders, and sustain change. Not just manage process
- Experience working at board or executive level, influencing culture and behaviours at the top of an organisation
- The credibility to be trusted immediately by an experienced team and senior leadership
- Available to mobilise at short notice and commit to an on-site presence
