A Platform for Safer Homes. A Platform for Leadership.
At Platform Housing Group, we're more than a workplace. We're a Platform for People—for our customers, our communities, and our colleagues.
We're now looking for a Director of Home & Building Safety to lead one of the most important functions in our organisation.
This is a rare opportunity to take on a key strategic leadership role, shaping how we deliver home and building safety, compliance, and assurance across more than 50,000 homes at a pivotal moment in our journey.
Why this role matters
Customer safety sits at the very heart of everything we do.
As our Director of Home & Building Safety, you'll provide strategic leadership across home and building safety, statutory compliance, assurance, facilities, and fleet services, ensuring our customers can have confidence that their homes are safe, compliant, and fit for the future.
You'll also play a key role in supporting the unification of our Property Directorate, helping bring together our Asset and Maintenance functions, embedding new ways of working, and establishing the goals and performance measures that will shape future success.
This is your opportunity to make a lasting impact across a large, values-driven organisation.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading our approach to home and building safety across the organisation
- Driving compliance, assurance, and risk management
- Creating collaborative workplace environments to support high-quality customer outcomes
- Integrating internal fleet services to support operational delivery and wider Platform colleagues
- Providing confidence and assurance to Executive Team, Committees, and Board
- Shaping the future of a newly unified Property Directorate
- Embedding a culture of continuous improvement and high performance
- Leading and developing senior leaders and specialist teams
- Building strong relationships across the organisation and with external stakeholders
