About Us


We believe that workplace health and safety training shouldn’t be a "tick-box" exercise. We deliver high-quality, Ofqual-regulated, and highly engaging training courses directly to businesses, schools, sports clubs, and high-risk professional environments. From First Aid (aligned with Resuscitation Council guidelines) and Pre-Hospital Care to Fire Safety, Food Hygiene, and Manual Handling, our courses are delivered with a focus on real-world experience, passion, and approachability.


We don't sell generic templates. We build bespoke, tailored health and safety packages to ensure our clients genuinely protect their staff and communities. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a driven, personable Salesperson to help expand our business footprint and bring our essential services to new clients.



The Role


As our Business Development & Sales Executive, your core mission will be to identify, engage, and secure new business partnerships across corporate sectors, nurseries, construction industries, and community organisations. You will act as the face of our company, understanding a client’s specific operational risks and introducing our premium, tailored training solutions and consultancy services.

Proposal & Closing: Draft professional proposals, handle objections smoothly, and close deals to meet monthly and quarterly growth targets.

Workstyle: You are highly disciplined and comfortable working remotely, managing your own schedule effectively.


Outstanding Communicator: You possess superb spoken and written English, with the confidence to pitch to business owners, HR managers, and corporate directors.



Requirements: Based in the UK with a valid driving licence for occasional team meetings or client site visits.
