About the Role

Norwood is investing in the future of Positive Behaviour Support across both our adult and Children & Family Services.

This is a strategic role with the mandate to shape, strengthen and modernise PBS practice across Ravenswood and our North West London services. You will define what high-quality, evidence-based and person-centred PBS looks like at Norwood and ensure it is delivered consistently.

The majority of the role will focus on adult services, with an important proportion supporting our Children & Family Services offer for children and young people aged 5 to 18.  This includes working with neurodivergent children, often with complex and co-occurring needs.  In the medium term, the role will also contribute to thinking around how PBS principles can support neurodivergent children in more mainstream settings.

This role moves beyond behaviour management.  It is about enabling children, young people and adults to live fuller, safer and more independent lives through proactive, strengths-based and positive risk approaches.

You will:

• Receive regular clinical supervision to ensure strong case management, reflective practice and ongoing professional support.
• Build and develop a specialist PBS function with clear purpose and accountability

• Chair PBS panels and MDT meetings as required
• Drive culture change toward proactive, person-centred and enabling support

• Influence and partner with the Senior Leadership Team to enable sustainable improvement
• Align practice with current research, regulatory expectations and national best practice

This role requires visible, hands-on engagement across both Ravenswood and North West London services.  You will work alongside practitioners and managers while maintaining strategic oversight.

This is an opportunity to raise standards, strengthen professional confidence and shape the future direction of PBS at Norwood.

About us

Estates & Facilities (E&F) is the largest professional services directorate at King’s with the widest variety of roles servicing our campuses and community. We enable King’s world-leading research, excellent teaching, and vibrant student life through the stewardship of one of the UK’s most significant and complex university estates.

About the role

We are seeking a senior health and safety leader to partner with the E&F Executive Director and Senior Leadership Team, providing independent oversight and assurance across a diverse, high-profile environment.

You will assure health and safety performance across more than 100 buildings ranging in age from the 1780’s to the current day, spanning five central London campuses, including facilities embedded within major NHS Trusts and a substantial student residences portfolio.

This is a senior individual contributor role with dual reporting to the Executive Director and Senior Director of Strategy & Performance. It is designed for a leader who operates credibly at executive level, able to influence direction, challenge constructively, and bring clarity and sound judgement to complex and often ambiguous risk landscapes.

You will bring significant experience from a large, multi-site or similarly complex organisation, with a track record of operating beyond operational management into strategic oversight and governance.

This role will suit someone who is self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and confident in maintaining their position when influencing becomes challenging. A visible on-campus presence, typically 3-4 days per week, is essential to engage effectively with senior leaders and operational teams.

About you:

To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates to have the following skills and experience:

Essential criteria

1. Competence to act as a senior health and safety professional under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
2. A recognised health and safety qualification at Level 6 or above, or equivalent professional experience, with commitment to ongoing CPD.
3. Experience providing health and safety leadership and oversight at enterprise level within a multi-site organisation, with evidence of improving risk management.
4. Experience providing executive-level H&S advice to senior leaders and/or boards within multifaceted organisations.
5. Experience establishing health and safety management systems, including risk registers, governance arrangements, audit programmes and performance reporting.
6. Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and confidently challenge senior leaders on health and safety matters while maintaining constructive working relationships.
7. Experience leading health and safety audits and reviews, with the ability to interpret findings, identify systemic issues and drive improvement through influence.
8. Strong written communication skills to produce clear, high-quality reports, with experience presenting confidently to senior stakeholders.

Desirable criteria

1. Experience working within asset-intensive, safety-critical or highly regulated environments.
2. Experience working with formal health and safety management systems or equivalent governance frameworks.

About SafeLives

We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well.
