Rail Safety and Standards Board, Occupational Health Principal Strategy Manager
Overview
The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) are recruiting for an Occupational Health Principal Strategy Manager to be responsible for the delivery of RSSB’s biomedical workstreams (occupational health and public health).
RSSB has a highly flexible approach to hybrid working and can agree a suitable pattern with the appointed candidate. This includes an option for the majority of days to be homeworking. In-office days will be based in the City of London, supported by RSSB’s commuting travel subsidy benefit.
The role
As the Occupational Health Principal Strategy Manager you will be responsible for the delivery of RSSB’s biomedical workstreams (occupational health and public health). You will use your expertise to collaboratively refine roadmaps for these areas, help secure industry support for solutions, and oversee relevant projects from inception through to implementation and evaluation. You will work closely with the Professional Head to support delivery on the health and wellbeing roadmap. You will need to work collaboratively with the team and industry partners whilst demonstrating a position of technical authority and autonomy. You will provide technical supervision and line manage a small team.
The most challenging part of the job is to establish effective ways of working with industry partners, building collaboration, overcoming barriers to help mitigate risks in health and safety and realisation of the RHSS strategy. The biomedical workstreams will reflect the industry ambition for occupational health and the vision of the RWA, and it must be part of a cohesive wider health and wellbeing programme of work. You will need to be able to influence from top-down and bottom-up.
The purpose of this role is to provide technical expertise and leadership on the prevention and management of ill-health at a population and individual level, through developing guidance, research projects and contributing to diverse communication channels.
