We are seeking a passionate Building Safety Advisor to help us take a proactive approach to managing building safety across our 15 higher‑risk buildings (HRBs).

You will be proactive, people‑focused, have excellent communication skills, and will work closely with the wider Asset Management, repairs teams, and other colleagues across the business to deliver positive outcomes for our customers. You will be a team player but able to work well as an individual on your own projects.

You will help with the development and ongoing management of building safety cases, resident engagement, mandatory occurrence reporting and will work with colleagues on applications to the Building Safety Regulator when work is required to our buildings. You will be able to work to deadlines and successfully manage differing demands and priorities.
