We’re delighted to be recruiting an experienced Fire Officer to join a well-established Fire Safety Team within a housing provider that puts resident safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.

We’ve already placed several professionals across their Health & Safety and Fire Safety functions, and the feedback has been outstanding — a team where people feel valued, supported, and truly appreciate the collaborative culture and work-life balance on offer.

This is a high-impact, purpose-driven role where you’ll directly contribute to the safety of residents and communities. Reporting to the Senior Fire Officer, you’ll play a key part in delivering a high-quality, specialist fire safety management and risk assessment service across a diverse residential portfolio.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Deliver professional FRAs across a variety of residential buildings
  • Support the development and implementation of fire safety policies and procedure
  • Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
  • Respond to incidents and support fire investigation processes
  • Collaborate with internal teams to build and maintain a strong fire safety culture
What We’re Looking For:
  • Proven experience carrying out FRAs in residential housing settings
  • Level 3 or 4 qualification in Fire Risk Assessment or Fire Safety Management
  • Strong understanding of fire safety legislation, particularly within housing associations or local authorities
  • Knowledge of Approved Documents and industry guidance
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and within a dispersed team
  • A professional fire safety accreditation (or willingness to work towards one)
What’s on Offer:
  • £1,300 essential car user allowance
  • Up to 6% matched pension
  • Up to 31 days' annual leave + bank holidays
  • Health Cash Plan, life assurance & lifestyle perks
  • 21 hours’ paid volunteering leave
  • A supportive, inclusive, and forward-thinking work environment
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a team that’s genuinely committed to making a difference. If you’re passionate about fire safety and looking for a rewarding next step, we’d love to hear from you.
