Regulatory Health and Safety Trainers (HRD B3/SEO)

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.

The balance of an individual’s key responsibilities will depend on their role within the Unit which could be either as an explosives specialist in an operational team or as an explosives topic specialist in a portfolio role. As you can see this role will broaden your knowledge and your professional credibility like no other role can.

From day one, you will be supported by your manager and colleagues to understand your role in HSE, develop your skills and support you in your continuing professional development. All of the locations include specialist and regulatory colleagues providing a wider support network. For the legal requirements of the role, you will be enrolled on the Specialist Training Programme (STP). You will receive appropriate training and will be required to study for and successfully complete a legal assessment.

Given that HSE regulates sites across the whole of GB you will be expected to spend periods working away from home, typically 2 to 3 days every fortnight. HSE is flexible on how this expectation is delivered and recognises individuals’ personal commitments.
