Head of Health and Safety Jobs in The County of Bute
Bute is a small county wedged underneath Argyll and containing the Isle of Bute and the Isle of Arran. Both Isles are connected to the mainland by ferries, to Skelmorlie, Saltcoats and the Kintyre Peninsula. The county of Bute is sparsely populated, with just over 10,000 people inhabiting an area of over 200 square miles (500 sq km). The county is a historic one, with Bute itself now being part of the Argyll and Bute council area, and Arran being in the North Ayrshire county.
Prospects for finding Head of Health and Safety jobs in Bute are relatively slim thanks to its low population and lack of heavy industry. However there is farming and tourism, which could produce some demand for the position. With Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Ayr just across the water, however, such jobs might be available with a little travel.
