Health and Safety Business Support Officer

Business Support Officer

Salary: £31,537 - £33,699 per annum

Hours per week: 37 hours

Interview date: Week commencing Tuesday 5 May 2026

We are seeking a proactive and confident Business Support Officer to play a key role in supporting our busy Health and Safety Service. Every day you will be at the heart of our advisory function, responding to queries, helping services navigate complex issues, and ensuring decisions are safe, informed, and aligned with statutory responsibilities.

The Health & Safety service delivers professional audit, advisory, training, and incident investigation support to ensure statutory compliance, reduce corporate risk, and maintain core staff competencies.

You will be relied on to recognise when matters need escalating, often in situations where staff may be distressed or conversations emotionally challenging. Alongside this, you will provide high quality administrative and governance support, from preparing agendas and minutes to maintaining action plans across key Health and Safety Boards and steering groups.

This role offers a meaningful opportunity to help keep our workforce and community safe, so if you enjoy problem solving, research, data analysis, and improving how services work we want to hear from you!

Why us?

Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos.

Our hybrid working model means office staff are on site for at least half their hours, community-based staff carry out at least half their admin time in a workplace, and customer facing roles work entirely from their service location.

Eligibility and Inclusion

We are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and to the principles of inclusion and diversity in both employment and the delivery of services.

We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment. Everyone is expected to promote a culture of inclusion, dignity, trust and respect, guided by our vision and Our Identity.
