An exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing residential platform operating across Build to Rent (BTR) and Single-Family Housing (SFH)
We’re looking for a Head of Health & Safety who wants to take real ownership — not just of policies, but of outcomes! If you’re motivated by accountability, high standards and meaningful impact, this could be the role for you.
The Opportunity
You’ll take the lead on health, safety and fire compliance across a growing portfolio — ensuring not only that legal requirements are met, but that safety truly works in practice. Regulation is evolving, expectations are higher than ever, and the responsibility is real within residential environments. Exciting opportunity to build and develop the Health and Safety functions within a growing business.
What You’ll Be Doing
Delivering Safety That Works
- Ensure full compliance with statutory health and safety requirements across all properties
- Lead fire safety strategy, ensuring risk assessments are current and actions are completed
- Own Building Safety Act compliance, including higher-risk building obligations
- Maintain real-time visibility of compliance status across the portfolio
- Ensure all testing, servicing and certification is completed with no gaps or ambiguity
