Vacancies and Recruitment

Occupational Health & Safety Administrator

Location: Royal Wootton Bassett

Salary: £22,000 pro rata (15 hours per week)

Safewell is an innovative and leading occupational Health and Safety company based in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. To support our continued growth and help us be more efficient in how we work, we are looking for an experienced Occupational Health & Safety Administrator on a part-time basis. Working 3 days a week in school hours, this role is designed to support your continued career whilst balancing life outside of work.

About Safewell

Since its establishment in 2007, Safewell has grown steadily, broadening its range of services.
We offer Health and Safety Consultancy, Occupational Health, face-to-face training, e-learning packages, and Face Fit testing. We’re not your average occupational health and safety company – team support, customer service, innovative thinking, and diligence are all part of the culture.
You will feel the difference when you visit the office and meet the team whether it’s the relaxed office environment and informal dress code, the office gym, the sit/stand desks, or the friendly, welcoming team. We encourage our team members to have control over their diaries, with the flexibility to help you manage your life-work balance.
Our success is down to the people we employ. We encourage our team members to continually develop their knowledge and expertise to enable us to deliver the high-quality service that we are passionate about.

About the job

This is a varied, busy role that will suit a well-organised, proactive individual who loves dealing with people, as you will be the first point of contact for enquiries, as well as lots of customer contact to schedule appointments, follow up warm sales leads and take payments.
The sales calls are following up on existing enquiries rather than cold calling, however, if spending a significant part of your day on the telephone is not your thing, then this would not be the right role for you.
You will be a team player, supporting the managers with a range of administrative tasks including scheduling meetings and travel, issuing reports and questionnaires, and supporting us to develop and document our systems and processes. You will work closely with the occupational health and safety team, planning their appointments, issuing forms, and ensuring work schedules are confirmed. You will have a good attention to detail and respect for confidentiality to ensure that sensitive records are kept securely and accurately.
We require cover for 3 days per week from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm and are happy to discuss a preferred pattern with the successful candidate.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will need:

•  Level 2 pass in Maths and English
• Solid administrative experience in a busy office setting
• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft packages and CRM databases
• Understanding of data protection and confidentiality
• Confident, friendly telephone manner with experience in handling both inbound enquiries and outbound sales calls
• Process-orientated, ideally with experience in developing and refining systems and procedures
• Experience in an occupational health and safety or medical environment would be advantageous

If you have a passion for providing efficient, professional, and high-quality to internal and external customers, Safewell offers the opportunity to join a growing business that puts a big emphasis on developing and looking after its team.

Interested? To apply please submit your CV and covering letter outlining what appeals to you about the role and what makes you a great candidate by Monday 2 October. We look forward to hearing from you.

Closing date: 2nd October 2023
