Home, a place where you belong

You want to make a real difference. You care about safety not just in theory, but in people’s actual homes. This new Building Safety Manager role in our Building Safety Team gives you the chance to shape how safety is done from the start. It’s hands-on, meaningful work that helps protect our customers and gives them peace of mind in the place they call home.

You’ll lead safety work across our higher-risk residential buildings, using your technical knowledge to guide decisions, manage risks and make sure we meet the standards set out in the Building Safety Act. This isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about understanding what people need to feel safe and making sure that’s what they get. You’ll work across your region, building strong relationships with colleagues and helping to join the dots between regulation, real life and what matters most to customers.

What you’ll do

• Lead Building Safety Cases from start to finish and keep them up to date
• Use fire risk assessments to spot risks early and advise on smart, timely actions
• Guide inspection and remediation work, making sure checks are done and issues are fixed
• Help housing teams embed safety into everyday practice with clear, practical advice
• Make sure golden thread data is collected and shared with the right people
• Support walkabouts and meetings to help customers understand what’s happening and why
