About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
We are looking for an experienced Building Safety Manager to help ensure the safety and compliance of our residential buildings, with a particular focus on Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs). You will lead on building safety activities across the housing portfolio, overseeing fire and structural safety, driving compliance, and supporting the development of a positive safety culture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working closely with colleagues, contractors, residents and regulators, you will manage building safety programmes, support resident engagement, monitor compliance performance and provide expert advice on legislative and regulatory requirements.
About The Team
The Building Compliance team plays a vital role in keeping residents safe and ensuring our homes meet the highest standards of building safety. Working alongside experienced safety, compliance and property professionals, you will contribute to a collaborative and forward-thinking service that is committed to continuous improvement and resident-focused outcomes.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that works closely with residents, senior leaders, external partners and regulators to deliver meaningful improvements across a diverse housing portfolio.
About You
You will be an experienced building safety, compliance, housing or property professional with a strong understanding of building safety legislation, fire safety compliance and regulatory requirements. You will have experience managing risk within complex residential environments, conducting audits and inspections, and overseeing contractors and consultants to ensure high standards of compliance and safety. With excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, you will be confident engaging with residents, colleagues, regulators and external partners. You will also bring strong problem-solving abilities, a commitment to delivering excellent customer service, and experience working within housing, local government, property management, facilities management or a similar environment. A relevant professional qualification, equivalent experience, or evidence of continuing professional development is essential, along with a willingness to continue developing your expertise in building safety management.
