Regulatory Health and Safety Trainers

At HSE, we believe everyone has the right to come home safe and well from their job. That’s why our mission is to prevent work related death, injury and ill health.

HRD helps HSE achieve this through the delivery of its in-house Regulators Training Programme (RTP). All new regulators are required to undertake and pass the Post Graduate Diploma in Regulatory Occupational Health and Safety (the Diploma) or undertake the Specialist Training Programme (STP).

These programmes blend digital training learning with face to face tutorials and workshops and field based experiential learning. We have worked hard to adapt how we deliver both programmes to reflect the different ways we have found ourselves working in during the pandemic. Our delivery now consists of a mixture of digital learning hosted on our own learning management system TEDI (Training, Education, Development and Inspiration), face to face (current restrictions permitting) and virtual classrooms in MS Teams. We are looking for experienced health and safety trainers to join the team and help deliver these vitally important programmes.

Your role as an Operations Development Trainer (ODT) will be to work closely with the Operations Development Managers, who are experienced regulators, to contribute to the ongoing review of the programmes to ensure that they represent the absolute best in regulatory training.
