Enable is a modern, vibrant NGO that strives to deliver an equal society for every citizen. For Enable, an equal society means everyone has the right to live independently in the community of their choice, where they can access their human rights to participate as active and respected citizens through work, friends, and relationships. Enable believes that an equal society is realised when all of the assets of every individual are fully utilised.

Enable is now recruiting for a newly created role of Head of Health and Safety. This is a strategic leadership position with responsibility for shaping the future of safety, wellbeing, and risk governance across a complex and regulated care and delivery environment. You will lead with vision, integrity, and innovation- ensuring that every decision, system, and safeguard reflects Enable’s deep commitment to human rights, dignity, and autonomy for both the people we support and the staff who serve them.

This role goes beyond compliance. It’s about enabling lives, protecting rights, and influencing the future of care and human services. As part of a bold, compassionate, and values-led leadership team, you’ll be given the autonomy to innovate, the support to lead, and the platform to make a lasting impact.

We are seeking a strategic, values-driven leader to embed a modern, human rights-based approach to health and safety across the organisation. With significant senior-level experience in health and safety – ideally within regulated care, health, the third sector, or other human-rights led service industries, you will bring the ability to turn data into meaningful insight, and regulatory compliance into cultural confidence.

This is a unique opportunity to lead and shape the future of safety, wellbeing, and risk governance within an innovative, award-winning, complex, and regulated care environment.

For more information please review the full role profile below or contact Douglas Adam to discuss further.

Enable is an equal opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status or pregnancy and maternity.
