The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has been at the heart of safety and health in the UK since 1916. Since our early days improving road safety during the blackouts of the First World War, we have existed for a simple reason – to stop the needless loss and devastation caused by accidents. A registered charity, we are committed to continuing this legacy of change through a whole-life approach to the prevention of accidental deaths and serious injuries at home, at work, on the road, at leisure and in schools and colleges.

RoSPA’s Community Safety Team in Scotland plays a vital function in helping to achieve this – delivering home and water safety programmes that address some of the most pressing accident prevention needs of our time.

We are now seeking a Home Safety Officer to join this Edinburgh-based team, facilitating projects, handling enquiries and carrying out activities to ensure the effective delivery of our community safety grant-funded work programmes.

The successful candidate with be skilled in project development and implementation, conducting research and administering events, and will be comfortable giving advice and representing RoSPA in professional and public arenas. Experience in, or empathy with, safety agendas is crucial. The role will also include regular report writing and preparing data in a user-friendly way to help make the case for further investment in home safety activities. This is especially crucial in the current climate due to increases in poverty resulting in difficult decisions being made by families around choosing home safety equipment. Additionally the pandemic has resulted in the need for the re-conditioning of older people who have been unable to benefit from regular movement to help them avoid falls and the post holder will seek opportunities to rectify this.
