Head of Fire & Building Safety - Salary range: (£91,975 - £97,679)
Welcome to Future Croydon – be part of the change
At Croydon Council, we’re transforming services and our borough into a place people are proud to call home.
As the most populous borough in London, Croydon is rich in diversity, history, and cultural vibrancy and our housing service is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in the capital.
Guided by the Executive Mayor’s Business Plan and the Future Croydon 2024–29 programme, we’re on a mission to create a borough of opportunity: delivering better outcomes for our residents, improving financial sustainability, and restoring pride in our services.
Over the past year, we’ve taken major steps to improve housing standards – investing over £30 million in home upgrades, launching a dedicated repairs contact centre, and completing stock condition surveys on 70% of homes. As a result, the Regulator of Social Housing has lifted its previous notice, recognising the significant improvements we’ve made.
Now, with a £166 million regeneration of our Regina Road estate underway, Croydon is building a future where safety, customer service, and resident-led change are at the heart of everything we do.
Join us at a defining moment
As we move into the next phase of our transformation, we’re looking for visionary leaders to shape the future of housing in Croydon. In partnership with Adecco, we’re recruiting four critical senior roles:
* Head of responsive repairs
* Head of compliance
* Head of fire and building safety
* Head of asset planning and capital delivery
These roles are more than just leadership posts– they’re your opportunity to drive high-impact change, build high-performing teams, and deliver services that make a real difference in people’s lives.
If you're an experienced leader passionate about safety, service excellence, and empowering communities, this is your chance to be part of a team shaping the future of one of London’s most ambitious boroughs.
