Working at IOSH

We employ around 200 people. Our head office is just south of Leicester city centre. It’s tucked away in its own grounds surrounded by lawns and trees but still close to shops and places to eat.

We live and breathe our values and we welcome talented individuals who are passionate and share our ethos.

Our employee engagement score has remained over 88% for two years running. We actively listen to colleagues' feedback, value their contributions and take action where necessary. Find out more about working life at IOSH:

We embrace smarter working, which allows colleagues to agree when and where they work – our office, home or a mix of the two. Wherever you are based, we’ll provide you with up-to-date IT equipment to keep you connected and establish a work-life balance that’s right for you.

Equality and diversity

We can only achieve a safer world of work for all by welcoming people from different backgrounds into the profession. We’re working hard to make IOSH an inclusive environment where we treat everyone fairly regardless of age, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, family circumstances or anything else

We value and celebrate difference, encouraging applications from all individuals to bring new perspectives, ideas and knowledge.

"A huge benefit of working at IOSH is the flexibility and work-life balance you can achieve. It feels like one big family, especially as I’ve spent the biggest part of my professional career here! I love the variety of my role, and the different areas within IOSH. There’s always something new to learn about, even 10 years later."
