About Us:
THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF KATE'S PASSION FOR NUMBERS AND PEOPLE.
Housing in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated and compassionate professionals bring everything to their work.
Take Kate, an absolute wizard at managing housing asset data for our annual GBP 50m capital programme. Kate's an inspiration to her team. Now a senior manager, she first joined as a college leaver in finance. Through Westminster's encouragement, as well as her own hard work and determination, she's gained professional qualifications and taken on a series of increasingly stretching roles.
Today, we depend on Kate's analytical powers to keep track of the condition of over 21,000 of our tenanted and leasehold homes : from roofs and windows to kitchens and bathrooms. Kate's committed to achieving the Decent Homes Standard for all our tenants and a high standard for all our leaseholders. Her passion is numbers but, because she grew up in social housing, she also understands the human stories behind the data.
More than that she understands the disruption renewal work entails. So when an elderly resident's family mentioned that their mother needed not just a new kitchen, but adaptations to her bathroom, Kate got right on to it. She co:ordinated with colleagues to assess the resident's disability needs.
Kate's worked hard to ensure our routine external and internal stock condition surveys pick up on repairs and health and safety issues at the same time. And, by recognising patterns in the data that's gathered, she makes a vital contribution to forward planning for large:scale capital renewal works.
The Role:
As a Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) Programme Coordinator, you too can make a powerful contribution. You'll be pivotal to ensuring the safety of our residents. Support the Fire Safety Team by managing report data, assigning actions to delivery teams, tracking progress, and ensuring all evidence is uploaded to maintain a clear audit trail.
You'll monitor and ensure regulatory compliance with housing fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Building Safety Act 2022, and guidance from the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). You'll turn to innovative thinking to manage operational risks, solve on:site issues, and streamline processes for better safety, quality, and delivery.
Plus, you'll maintain accurate records of Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) across all housing stock, ensuring assessments are up to date, actions are tracked, and remedial works are monitored through to completion. This will entail keeping accurate data on communal alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors, smoke detectors, and more. Whenever there are remedial works, you'll liaise with the relevant teams to ensure these are completed swiftly. You'll champion a coordinated approach to fire safety compliance.
We're keen to improve our data reporting, help us to do so by identifying operational insights, reporting gaps and through reaching out to internal teams to check that data is accurate, actionable and aligned with programme needs. You'll share your data insights with senior leadership teams, contractor performance management, and through staff training. Plus, you'll produce periodic statistical reports and be the main point of contact for documents on processes and procedures.
Communication of fire safety information to residents is key, whether it be fire evacuation procedures, safety notices or works impacting fire systems. Support us in getting information out there, quickly and clearly.
