Building Safety Manager in London

We are looking for the right person to fill an important role in our Property Services team. As Building Safety Manager you will lead on ensuring the safety, compliance, and operational integrity of our broad property portfolio. As a charity that supports its local communities, we have a hugely diverse portfolio consisting of hostels, self-supported accommodation, a youth centre, a gym, and a café.

You will play a really important role in maintaining a safe environment for the young people and communities we support, by identifying any risks proactively and staying on top of evolving safety regulations and standards. If you are up for a challenge and want to make a real difference to the lives of young people and local communities, we would love to hear from you.

Thank you for your interest in finding out more about YMCA Thames Gateway Group. Whether you are looking for your first role, coming back to work after a career break, or simply looking for a new challenge, we are happy you are considering us. As a community-based organisation for over 150 years, we are a vibrant and ever-changing charity that offers inclusive programmes in health & wellbeing, childcare, housing and youth work. We are passionate about providing opportunities to those who are most in need.

We successfully adapt to the needs of the communities in which we are based - during the pandemic we were able to provide food hampers to families in need, childcare support to keyworkers, and stayed in touch with our senior citizens group who, for many, attending our social groups is a lifeline. Our staff are dedicated to making other people's lives better through the services we provide, so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, we look forward to hearing from you.
