About the job

Job summary

Operational Support team members provide high-quality operational, administrative and technical support within office-based environments for Inspection, Investigation, and Specialist Divisions, delivering key functions that contribute to regulatory operations across these divisions. Cross divisional support is also provided to Chemical, Explosives and Microbiological Hazards Division (CEMHD) and Energy Division (ED) on an ad hoc basis, making Operational Support colleagues the backbone and integral part of a host of regulatory support work.

They work as part of a collective team within specific office locations, whilst aligned to and supporting delivery via a functional operating model. Every colleague is assigned to up to three of the division’s six priority workstreams.

Work Pattern

Part time working hours are available for this role. We can accept part time applicants who can commit to working a minimum of 30 hours per week.

Job description

You will contribute to the delivery of HSE’s Strategy and plan of work by undertaking a range of business support tasks and processes, against stringent service level agreements, in direct support of both front line and other HSE staff, including providing support to other parts of HSE, on both a local and national basis. You will do this by:

Targeting & Intelligence (T&I): Workstream activities relate to the provision of inspection premises as part of the annual inspection programme. This consists of actioning visit requests in a timely manner through triage of potential sites and creation of visit packs in support of Inspectors, ahead of visits. Cases must be created and accurately recorded on the correct corporate system for inspection recording.

Additionally, and irrespective of workstream, team members take on additional responsibilities as set out in the Support Service Guide and within local offices. These include but are not limited to:

  • Point of contact for inspectors at location in relation to operational support tasks.
  • Handling priority calls from the emergency services, and members of the public, via Customer Services.
  • Effectively manage evidence at local HSE sites, for all Divisions, ensuring continuity, accurate tracking and timely safe destruction for sensitivity, security, and capacity purposes.
  • Supporting local estates activity, including PPE provision, incoming/outgoing post, and general office resilience tasks.

This list is not exhaustive.

Person specification

Essential Skills

  • The ability to organise effectively, manage tasks and meet deadlines
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Ability to adapt within in a working environment when priorities change and stay focused when working on multiple tasks
  • Attention to detail and ability to complete tasks accurately

At HSE, we are proud to be able to offer our people the opportunity to work in a hybrid way which combines working from home and the office. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement, and your allocated office will be your contractual place of work.

There will be a requirement to travel to the office for various activities, e.g., collaborative working, supporting and training colleagues. If hybrid working is suitable for you and your role, you will be expected to attend the office, or other business-related site, for 60% of your working week. The arrangements will be determined primarily by business need, but personal circumstances and other relevant circumstances will also be taken into account.

Therefore, we would encourage candidates to consider if the commute from home to the office is a feasible distance to travel before making an application. Please note that if you are successful, hybrid working will be discussed prior to taking up the post.
