Job Introduction

Sodexo Technical Services has a vacancy within their organisational structure which is key to supporting the on-going management of the Hard Facilities Management Services contract at University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

Role Responsibility

The focus of the role is to effectively manage health, safety, fire and risk on behalf of Sodexo within the UHNS PFI contract. The post holder will act as Competent Person, providing an expert resource with the knowledge and skills to generate a positive Health & Safety Culture assisting managers and staff to comply with Health & Safety and Fire Safety Legislation. As competent person you will assist staff to undertake investigations of incidents, dangerous occurrences or near misses, communicating lessons learned and reviewing performance against corporate targets.  Health & safety programmes for the site must be prepared, planned and implemented to ensure that there is 100% availability of service.  This will include project plans for critical services, in some cases developing cost / benefit options. There will also be responsibility for managing contractors including the permit to work system to ensure their activities do not compromise Health, Safety and Fire precautions.  In this role you will also work with the wider CSIFM (Corporate Services Integrated Facilities Management) Health and Safety Team and ensure that all corporate systems are fully implemented and auditable.  The post holder will be required to represent the contract at health and safety meetings both within Sodexo, with the SPV and UHNS.

The Ideal Candidate

Applicants must hold the NEBOSH Diploma (by examination) or a degree or equivalent in a relevant health & safety discipline along with membership of an appropriate professional body (preferably Chartered Member of IOSH). Fire safety experience is essential, preferably gained in a similar multi-site environment.  A good understanding of HTM requirements for fire safety in hospitals is desirable as is a general understanding of all HTM’s and their requirements in the Healthcare environment.  Candidates must be able to produce detailed reports and ensure that Integrated Management Systems are maintained in order to achieve corporate audit targets.  The post holder will be required to develop and deliver health, safety and fire training in line with corporate policy and UHNS processes and therefore should possess good communications skills.
