In this role, you will provide clear, accurate and practical technical information on gas safety, associated building industries and ACS-related matters. You will play an important part in helping people understand their responsibilities, supporting compliance with relevant legislation and promoting safe standards across the gas industry. About Gas Safe Register Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. By law, gas businesses and engineers must be registered to carry out gas work legally. The register helps protect the public from unsafe gas work by maintaining the official list of competent businesses and engineers, supporting inspections, investigating safety concerns and raising awareness of gas safety standards.

Capita delivers the Gas Safe Register service under a concession arrangement with the Health and Safety Executive and related authorities. Together, we help maintain gas safety standards and give consumers confidence that gas work is carried out safely, legally and professionally.

What You'll Be Doing

• Respond to telephone, written and email enquiries from stakeholders, registered businesses and the general public, providing clear and professional technical guidance.




• Provide information and advice on gas safety, associated building industries and Nationally Accredited Certification Scheme for Individual Gas Fitting Operatives (ACS) matters.




• Support other Gas Safe Register departments with accurate technical guidance to help ensure compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards.




• Research, write, review and edit technical articles, publications and bulletins, ensuring information is accurate, consistent and easy to understand.




• Keep up to date with industry changes, technical standards and legislation so that advice remains current and reliable.
