The successful candidate will be responsible for the management of the Unit Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) ensuring it complies with Legislative and MOD policies. This includes drafting the Unit HS & EP Management Plans, Risk Register and Auditing on behalf of the SHEFO. The SHEFA acts as the 4C's Duty Holder on behalf of the Commanding Officer ensuring Legislative processes and MOD policies are followed.

The role will require the successful candidate to act as the focal point and provide advice, leadership, guidance and mentoring on Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HS & EP) matters at the Unit. This will include management of Fire Risk Assessments (FRA's) and other fire safety issues liaising with relevant contractors, Fire and Rescue and Defence Fire Regulator as required.

A critical component of the SHEFA role is to facilitate HS & EP training for the Unit, including setting up and managing a training spreadsheet to identify persons trained and any shortfalls in training. This includes identifying training providers and seeking funding from Unit for HS & EP Training both within the Unit and with External providers. A component of this responsibility requires the incumbent to facilitate the New Joiners questionnaire and maintain a spreadsheet of new joiners. Further, the SHEFA will be required to manage the Unit HS & EP Share point site, encouraging all personnel to store records electronically to aid any loss of continuity and to become more environmentally friendly.

In addition, the candidate will act as Incident manager which includes co-ordinating all Navy Safety Occurrence Reports (NSOR's) for the Unit and submitting them to Navy Command. A key element of this responsibility will require the SHEFA to provide advice on the completion and ensure incidents are recorded on the Unit Incident Logs and well as providing advice on the process for personal injury claims against the MOD where necessary.
