\n Head of Safety, Health, Environment, & Quality (SHEQ) Nuclear Sector Leader | Strategic Department Oversight | Competitive Salary + Benefits | The Opportunity\n A leading nuclear services company is recruiting a Head of SHEQ to take strategic leadership of their SHEQ function. This is a director-level role - a genuine opportunity to shape SHEQ strategy, build capability, and drive cultural transformation across a multi-site, multi-project organisation operating in complex, regulated environments. \n Why Now: The previous Head of ESH&Q has transitioned to lead international project delivery. This creates a leadership vacancy at a pivotal moment - the business is growing, strategic capability is being refreshed, and there's genuine scope to remodel the department structure if you believe it would improve performance and outcomes. \n The Scale: You'll lead a team across multiple locations, overseeing quality assurance, health & safety, environmental management, and operational compliance. You'll report to the Board, shape SHEQ strategy aligned with business objectives, and drive cultural change that embeds safety and quality as non-negotiable. What This Role Demands\n Strategic Leadership You'll develop and implement SHEQ strategy that's integrated into the business plan, not bolted on. You'll contribute to strategic planning with the board, ensure governance arrangements support safe delivery across operational and project environments, and champion initiatives that embed SHEQ into how the business operates. \n Department Ownership & Reshaping You'll take full accountability for the SHEQ function and the team delivering it. You'll build capability, lead multi-disciplinary teams, and - critically - you'll have the authority and strategic vision to reshape the department structure if you believe it would improve performance. This isn't inheriting a static function; you're building one that works. \n Cultural Transformation You'll drive a strong safety culture where questioning attitude, adherence to procedures, and continuous improvement operate as business-as-usual. You'll shape behaviours, influence senior leaders, and build organisational resilience through learning and challenge. \n Assurance & Risk Management You'll ensure the business remains compliant with legislation and regulatory expectations. You'll oversee assurance programmes, engage credibly with clients and regulators, and ensure ESH&Q risks are identified, assessed, and managed to ALARP. You'll provide independent challenge while maintaining operational credibility. \n Client & Stakeholder Interface You'll act as senior SHEQ interface with clients and regulators. You'll provide authoritative advice to the Board on SHEQ risks and regulatory trends. You'll support bids, tenders, and major project reviews, ensuring proposals meet client and regulatory expectations. You'll build strong relationships that support safe, compliant, high-quality delivery. \n Technical Communication You'll translate complex technical, regulatory, and operational SHEQ data into clear, actionable guidance. You'll communicate at all organisational levels - from frontline teams to the Board - with clarity and credibility. You'll challenge poor thinking and drive evidence-based decision-making. About You\n Essential Experience & Expertise \n \n • 10+ years in Health & Safety, Quality and Environment management - preferably with exposure to multiple disciplines\n, • Proven expertise in ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 accreditations and quality management systems\n, • Track record driving organisational change, including integration, restructuring, and capability uplift\n, • Demonstrated evidence of leading cultural transformation, behavioural safety initiatives, and embedding organisational learning\n, • Leadership capability to manage multi-disciplinary teams across multiple locations\n, • Strategic thinking with ability to shape long-term ESH&Q strategy aligned to business and regulatory expectations\n, • Assurance mindset - ability to challenge, verify, and provide independent oversight whilst maintaining operational credibility\n, • Communication excellence - ability to synthesise complex information into clear, actionable guidance\n, • Influencing and stakeholder engagement skills at senior levels\n \n Qualifications \n \n • NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent (Essential)\n, • Professional body membership in appropriate technical/safety body (Desirable)\n \n Why You'll Succeed You understand that SHEQ isn't a compliance exercise - it's a strategic lever for business performance. You can operate at board level without losing operational credibility. You're driven by outcomes, not bureaucracy. You're open to challenging the status quo and reshaping how the function operates if it improves delivery. You balance risk management with operational pragmatism. You inspire teams and drive cultural change through influence, not just authority. The Role in Context\n This is a director-level position within a leading nuclear services company with established expertise across decommissioning, waste management, consultancy, R&D, engineering design, site installation, and high-hazard physical work. The business operates across multiple sites, manages diverse project portfolios, and serves complex nuclear clients with regulatory requirements that demand rigorous SHEQ leadership. \n The role offers genuine opportunity to develop strategic SHEQ capability and reshape how the function supports the business. You'll have real autonomy to restructure, develop capability, and drive change. What We Offer\n Salary & Benefits: Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus car allowance.

Hybrid Mortgage Advisor / Hybrid Mortgage Broker – Preston Location: Preston (City Centre) Salary: Up to £35,000 Basic (including car allowance) OTE: £75,000+ Uncapped Job Type: Employed or Self-Employed Cameron James Professional Recruitment is delighted to be working in partnership with a highly successful estate agency and financial services business to recruit an experienced Hybrid Mortgage Advisor / Hybrid Mortgage Broker to join its thriving operation in Preston. This is an exceptional opportunity for a motivated and ambitious Mortgage Advisor looking to join a business that offers genuine estate agency lead generation, hybrid working, outstanding earning potential and long-term career progression. If you're looking for a role where you can focus on advising clients rather than generating business, this could be the perfect next step in your mortgage career. Working from a busy city centre estate agency branch, you'll become part of a well-established financial services team that has built an excellent reputation for delivering exceptional customer service and consistently achieving outstanding results. The business has developed a strong financial services culture across its branch network, ensuring Mortgage Advisors receive a constant flow of warm, qualified mortgage appointments generated directly through the estate agency. Unlike many mortgage roles where advisers are expected to source the majority of their own business, this opportunity provides a steady pipeline of high-quality opportunities. The Preston branch enjoys excellent levels of property activity, with an average property value of around £190,000 and premium homes regularly exceeding £1.2 million, creating an excellent mix of residential mortgage opportunities. This is a genuine hybrid role, although the successful Mortgage Advisor will initially spend approximately three to four days each week working from the Preston branch. This allows you to build strong working relationships with branch managers, negotiators and the wider sales team while becoming fully embedded within the office. Once established, you'll enjoy the flexibility of hybrid working, balancing office-based appointments with remote telephone and video consultations. The successful adviser can expect to receive around 20 to 25 qualified mortgage appointments each month, resulting in approximately 8 to 10 completed mortgage applications. Average case sizes are around £1,800, while strong protection opportunities and excellent conversion rates create significant additional earning potential. Advisers who embrace the opportunity and build strong relationships within the branch regularly generate substantial monthly income through a combination of mortgage proc fees, broker fees and protection commission, with realistic on-target earnings comfortably exceeding £75,000 per annum. You'll also benefit from additional referral and overflow business generated by other successful branches across the wider region, ensuring a consistent flow of opportunities throughout the year. As a Hybrid Mortgage Advisor, you'll provide whole-of-market mortgage and protection advice to a broad range of clients, including first-time buyers, home movers, remortgage customers and property investors. You'll conduct appointments face-to-face within the branch, over the telephone and via video, guiding clients through every stage of the mortgage process while delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining the highest FCA compliance standards. One of the key attractions of this opportunity is the level of support available. You'll benefit from a dedicated mortgage administration team, experienced compliance professionals and supportive management, allowing you to spend more time advising clients and less time dealing with paperwork. This enables you to maximise your productivity while delivering an outstanding customer experience. For employed advisers, the package includes a basic salary of up to £35,000, including car allowance, together with uncapped commission, monthly performance bonuses, attractive commission splits, pension, Death-in-Service benefit and ongoing professional development. The business has a proven track record of helping advisers maximise both mortgage and protection income while providing genuine opportunities for career progression. For experienced advisers seeking greater flexibility, a self-employed option is also available. This offers 70% commission on self-generated business and 45% commission on company-generated leads, together with full compliance support, dedicated mortgage administration and an established introducer network. It represents an excellent opportunity for ambitious Mortgage Brokers looking to maximise earnings while benefiting from the infrastructure of a highly successful business. To be considered, applicants should hold CeMAP (or equivalent) together with Competent Adviser Status (CAS) and previous experience working as a Mortgage Advisor or Mortgage Broker. Experience within an estate agency environment would be advantageous, although advisers from other whole-of-market or broker backgrounds are also encouraged to apply. Strong residential mortgage and protection knowledge, excellent communication skills and a genuine passion for delivering exceptional customer outcomes are essential. If you're looking for a Mortgage Advisor opportunity that combines high-quality estate agency leads, hybrid working, excellent support and realistic earnings of £75,000+, this is one of the strongest opportunities currently available in the Preston market.
