Safe Homes Officer
Job description
Permanent
Ref: H7477
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly organised and motivated individual to join our Safe Homes Team, supporting a critical service area focused on building safety and statutory compliance.
Our team is responsible for ensuring the safety of residents across a range of compliance areas including fire safety, gas, electrical, lifts, water hygiene and asbestos. With a significant programme of inspections underway, this role is essential in providing the administrative and coordination support that enables our officers to remain out on site, carrying out safety-critical inspections.
You will play a key role in supporting the delivery of this fast-paced service. This will include coordinating inspection programmes, managing compliance records, handling data returns, supporting complaint responses, and ensuring that all documentation is accurate, complete and readily accessible. Your work will directly contribute to keeping our buildings safe and compliant.
We are looking for someone with strong administrative and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities. You will need to be confident working with data and systems, and comfortable liaising with colleagues, residents and contractors in a professional and approachable manner.
This role would suit someone who takes pride in their work, understands the importance of accuracy in a compliance environment, and is motivated by making a tangible difference to resident safety.
This is also an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career in the growing field of building safety. We are committed to developing our people, and this role offers a clear pathway to expand your knowledge and progress into more technical or operational roles within the service over time.
If you are proactive, adaptable, and want to be part of a team where your contribution has a real and visible impact, we would welcome your application.
A Basic check will be undertaken with the Disclosure and Barring Service to ensure that the successful candidate has no relevant convictions.
The deadline for applications will be midnight on the closing date shown in the advert details.
