About the role and about you
Our client is the independent charity that cares for six of the most iconic palaces in the world. They preserve these historic sites and share their stories with millions of people, inspiring audiences through creativity, innovation, and world class experiences.
They want everyone to find themselves in the spaces and stories they share. To find out more, please visit their strategy page found on their website.
Their fabulous palaces, parks and gardens are enjoyed by millions of visitors every year. They stage spectacular events, blockbuster exhibitions and engage in complex construction and conservation projects. They strive to do these things safely, all the while preserving the essential character and appearance of their historic sites and the environment in which they exist.
Their Safety Team provides professional, qualified advice to colleagues on all aspects of fire prevention, health and safety, environmental compliance and the formulation of incident management plans. They pride themselves on finding pragmatic and realistic solutions to enable their charity to succeed, particularly when it comes to staging large, spectacular events.
A brilliant opportunity has arisen to come and work with them at the palaces. They require candidates to hold or expecting to be awarded the NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (or equivalent), or to demonstrate suitable experience with implementing safety procedures, delivering first aid, implementing emergency procedures, conducting investigations and report writing. Applications from internal candidates, and those familiar with working in this environment are particularly welcome. The successful candidate will be proactive and be enthusiastic about protecting our palaces and the people within them. Candidates will require a good knowledge of MS Office (Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and have very good written and oral communication skills, with the confidence to make presentations to colleagues and represent external parties.
The role will have a strong focus on accident and incident recording, supporting their investigations, gathering information for insurance claims, audits, site inspections and triaging general safety enquiries through their shared safety inbox. Experience with visitor attractions and event management would be useful, because the role will also involve safety inspections.
This role is full time, Monday-Friday; based in East Molesey, with ad hoc travel to other sites. The nature of the work involves some physical activity, including some working at height on scaffolds, and lifting/ demonstrating with training equipment. A high level of discretion and a strong appreciation of data protection are vitally important to this role. Candidates must be eligible for full CT level security clearance.
Closing date: 22nd February 2026, 23:55.
If you have recently applied for this role please do not reapply, they are considering all recent applications.
Our client is an equal opportunities employer and truly values a diverse workforce. Applications are welcome from candidates regardless of their background.
They are also committed to high quality Safeguarding practices and to ensure everyone is kept safe in their palaces. They have procedures in place to ensure this commitment is delivered and will deal firmly and swiftly with anyone representing their charity who does not meet their required standards
