Home, a place where you belong

Feel proud knowing your work keeps people safe every single day. You care about doing things properly and spotting the details that really matter. When it comes to fire safety, those small things aren’t small at all. As our new FRA Officer in the Fire Safety Team, you’ll make sure every inspection leads to action and every record tells the full story. Not just ticking boxes but making sure the job gets done and done right.

This is a brand new role, and you’ll help shape how we stay on top of fire safety across our homes. You’ll work closely with contractors, consultants and teams across Home Group to keep everything moving. You’ll be the calm, steady hand behind the scenes, making sure inspections are completed, actions are followed up, and nothing slips through the cracks. If you love structure, clarity and making a real difference, this could be just the role for you.

What you’ll do

• Track, manage and close actions from Fire Risk Assessments (FRA), FRAEWs and other inspections
• Support post-inspections to check completed work and spot quality issues early
• Keep data and reporting up to date for senior leaders and regulatory returns
• Work with consultants to deliver inspection programmes on time and to spec
• Monitor contractor performance and follow up where improvements are needed
• Help teams understand fire action responsibilities and share key trends
