Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace, the Banqueting House, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle & Gardens.
About the role
We are a team of people who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. We create space for spirits to stir and be stirred.
The HRP Safety Team provides professional, qualified advice to colleagues on all aspects of fire prevention and emergency planning, health and safety, and environmental compliance. We pride ourselves on achieving pragmatic and realistic solutions to enable our charity to succeed. We welcome millions of visitors each year, staging spectacular events, and blockbuster exhibitions and engaging in complex construction and conservation projects. We strive to do these things safely, all the while preserving the essential character and appearance of our historic palaces and the environment in which they exist.
In this role, you will be supporting the Senior HSE Advisor, monitoring the safety inbox, providing general health and safety advice and support across Palaces Group sites and HRP warehouses, assisting with, or leading investigations, and inspections and delivering safety training. You will also assist with regulatory and insurance inspections of our sites. A strong focus of this role is on innovation, of simplifying and automating existing paper-based safety systems to maximise the potential of HRP’s recent transition to SharePoint. An interesting aspect of the role will be learning about environmental compliance across all HRP sites (including the Tower of London), responding to and investigating potential pollution incidents, and supporting a programme of environmental compliance audits.
Although based at Hampton Court Palace, the role will require travel to other Palaces Group sites (Kensington Palace, Kew Palace, the Banqueting House, and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens in Northern Ireland).
Benefits include:
• Hybrid working
• Enhanced holiday entitlement
• Generous Employer’s Pension Contributions (up to 11%)
• Annual Pay Reviews & Bonuses
• Critical Illness Cover & Life Assurance
• Family-friendly policies and benefits
• Staff discounts and membership to all palaces
