Here for people. Here for communities. Here for you.
As our dedicated Fire Safety Officer, you’ll be at the forefront of ensuring our compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, conducting thorough risk assessments and surveys to safeguard our premises. You’ll be responsible for the delivery of the fire safety framework across the organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity where you’ll be the subject matter expert in fire safety and fire management, influencing the business, our customer, and the community, on the importance of keeping homes safe.
You’ll ensure our fire safety policies and procedures for all our properties are fully implemented and compliant with statutory obligations.

This role involves travelling independently across our sites and services as part of day-to-day duties. You may have access to a company vehicle, but for most roles, you’ll need to use your own vehicle. Because of this, you’ll need to hold a full, valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle. If you use your own vehicle for work, you’ll also need appropriate insurance (for example business use).
