• Manage our Working Safely Advice Line (WSAL), helping GB businesses, employees and members of the public to navigate and understand Covid-Secure guidance and legislation
• Undertake proactive telephone Covid secure spot checks with GB workplaces and meet the volumes indicated
• Successfully balance and maintain the delivery of these services in parallel.
• Respond rapidly to changing requirements in terms of priorities, volumes, location, sector and to changes in government and HSE guidance which may impact on the process and approach
• Respond to spot-check surge requirements without significant notice which may mean changes to pre-scheduled activity
• Rapidly mobilise to begin delivering Spot Checks at pace
