Job Description

What you'll bring to the team

Health and Safety Advisor

Location: Thorpe Park, Chertsey KT16 8PN

Contract Type: Permanent, salaried

At Thorpe Park Resort, safety is at the heart of every great guest experience. We are looking for a Health and Safety Advisor to help drive a positive safety culture, support operational teams, and ensure our guests and colleagues can enjoy everything the resort has to offer while staying safe!

As our Health and Safety Advisor, you will be a trusted partner to teams across the resort, providing expert guidance that helps us maintain high safety standards while delivering great experiences for our guests. You'll work closely with managers and colleagues across operational, technical and commercial teams, ensuring safety remains at the heart of everything we do.

You will support the ongoing development of a positive safety culture by encouraging best practice, listening to colleague feedback and helping implement meaningful improvements. Through coaching, communication and collaboration, you will help create an environment where everyone feels responsible for safety and empowered to make a difference.

Working across the park, you will carry out audits, inspections and compliance reviews, ensuring Merlin standards and legal requirements are met. You will also support third-party contractors operating on site, helping them understand expectations and maintain the highest levels of compliance.

As Health and Safety Advisor you will play an important role in supporting new attractions, products and projects, working alongside project teams to ensure safe and compliant delivery. From concept through to opening day, you'll help make sure operational safety requirements are in place so that every new experience is ready for guests to enjoy.

When incidents occur, you will support with reporting, investigation and follow-up activities, helping managers identify root causes, implement effective actions and share learning across the business. You'll also contribute to health and safety training programmes, inspections and audits that help us continuously raise the bar.
