With a world-class reputation for safeguarding the health and safety of people at work, HSE is adapting and evolving to meet the new challenges ahead. In the Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD), we work with one goal in mind – to protect human health and the environment from the effects of potentially harmful substances.
Our Occupational and Non-dietary Exposure Team’s function is to assess occupational and other non-dietary exposure of people to pesticides and biocides. This is an exciting time to join the team and you will play a leading role in developing the UK Government’s approaches to assessing the risks arising from exposure to chemicals across a range of new and expanded regulatory responsibilities and work with a variety of national and international organisations and experts.
You will already be an established professional occupational and non-dietary exposure assessment of chemicals or have extensive experience in the field of occupational hygiene. Beyond your specialism you will work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of chemical and environmental scientists and other technical experts undertaking risks assessments using range of data relating to pesticide and biocide active substances and products. Your role will be to lead occupational and non-dietary exposure assessments and explain conclusions and decisions internally and externally, to independent scientists, other government departments and relevant stakeholders.
This role will also provide the opportunity to meet with a range of stakeholders across the UK chemicals sector who rely on CRD scientists for detailed technical advice, guidance, and training.
CRD and the Occupational and Non-dietary Exposure Team are predominately located in Bootle (L20 7HS) and York (YO1 7PX), however we welcome applications from candidates wishing to work at the other stated office locations. Occasional travel to Bootle and/or York would be required.
