Gloucestershire County Council is seeking an ambitious, forward-thinking Road Safety Manager to lead its flagship programme. This is a unique opportunity to deliver large-scale change: reducing casualties, enabling active travel and helping us achieve our Vision Zero ambition. You’ll lead a multidisciplinary team and work closely with partners like Police, Fire and Rescue, Public Health and National Highways. Key responsibilities include delivering Safer Roads and Community 20mph schemes across 150+ communities, overseeing the annual collision reduction programme, deploying average speed cameras and, using data, AI and behavioural insight to improve safety outcomes. This is a key leadership role, influencing major projects like the Cycle Spine, and Bus Service Improvement Plan and active travel infrastructure, helping shape a safer, more sustainable network. This work is critical to achieving national road safety targets by 2035 and progressing Vision Zero by 2050, while delivering tangible benefits to communities across Gloucestershire.
