Bring out the best in people. Make a difference in environmental health.

Are you an experienced environmental health manager with a passion for developing people and delivering great service? We'd love to hear from you. At Shield Safety, you'll put your technical expertise and leadership skills to work, helping your team deliver services that protect people's health and give customers confidence.

You'll lead a talented, passionate team of Regional EHP Managers (REHPMs), Senior EHPs, EHPs and Graduates, making sure they have the skills, support and direction to succeed, balancing service quality and commercial performance with their wellbeing, engagement and development.

We're looking for a strong environmental health manager who knows how to lead people, maintain high standards and turn plans into results.

• Lead by example, set clear expectations and help your team take ownership of their work and demonstrate our values.
• Recognise great work, address underperformance constructively and help colleagues develop their strengths and take their next steps.
• Make time for wellbeing and engagement, building open, supportive relationships across your team.
• Manage recruitment and attrition, supporting retention and building the capability your team needs.
• Manage the CIEH Pathway programme, ensuring colleagues are enrolled, supported and on track to meet deadlines and complete successfully.
• Keep colleagues connected to the business by sharing strategy, policy updates and successes, explaining what changes mean for them.
• Ensure your team has the competence to deliver every service on time, to the required quality standards and against agreed KPIs.
• Oversee quality assurance, appeals and queries from REHPMs and EHPs, helping colleagues resolve issues and learn from them.
• Meet customer-specific requirements, such as becoming a Lead Auditor for Tesco.
• Keep your own professional knowledge, competence, accreditation and continuing professional development (CPD) up to date.
• Oversee allocations and resource planning, finding practical ways to improve utilisation and efficiency.
• Produce accurate month-to-month revenue forecasts and analyse gross profit, using the information to understand performance and guide decisions.
• Monitor and process Audit Team overtime and expenses.
• Deliver accurate, timely monthly internal and external reporting, including reporting for Tesco.
• Attend and lead relevant meetings, including weekly operations meetings and monthly management meetings, turning discussions into clear actions.
• Support and provide cover for other divisional managers when needed.
• Support Safe to Trade ® initiatives and projects.
• Share your technical knowledge to support business initiatives and find better ways of working.

• You're an environmental health manager who earns trust through your expertise, judgement and approach to people. You're confident leading other managers and technical professionals, giving clear direction while making space for their knowledge and ideas.

• Experience leading and developing environmental health teams.
• Strong technical knowledge and a commitment to consistent, high-quality service.
• The confidence to have honest, constructive conversations about performance and development.
• Commercial awareness, including an understanding of revenue, gross profit and effective resource planning.
• The ability to organise competing priorities and keep delivery on track.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach to colleagues and customers.
• A genuine commitment to colleague wellbeing and your own professional development.

This is your opportunity to combine the parts of environmental health management that matter to you: technical standards, capable people and services that make a difference. You'll help colleagues grow, shape how your division works and contribute your expertise to wider business initiatives.

We'd love to hear what you could bring to the team. Apply and tell us about your environmental health management experience, your approach to leadership and how you help people succeed.
