Arriva London is seeking a high-calibre Health & Safety Manager to take ownership of safety performance across our East and South London operations. This is not just another H&S role — it’s a chance to shape culture, influence senior leaders, and make a visible impact across one of London’s largest transport networks.
To succeed in this role, you must have completed your NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent Level 6 qualification). We’re looking for someone who brings both credibility and authority, with the expertise to drive real change in a complex, fast-moving environment.

* Ensure full statutory compliance across all sites
* Deliver insightful performance reports to senior leadership
* Oversee training programmes and inductions
* Chair health, safety & environmental meetings
* Drive clear, engaging safety communication across the organisation

You’re confident, credible, and not afraid to challenge. You know how to influence at all levels and bring people with you.
**Essential:**
--------------
* ✅ NEBOSH Diploma (Level 6) or equivalent – completed
* Proven experience in a multi-site, high-risk environment
