If you’re motivated by improving standards, leading people well, and delivering a gold-standard fire safety service, this is a role with real purpose and long-term stability.

- Leading and developing a team of 8 fire safety specialists, ensuring performance targets are met
- Supporting the Fire Safety Manager and deputising during periods of absence
- Managing an annual budget of around £600k and planning future requirements
