Fire Risk Assessor

New Yesterday

Are you a Fire Risk Assessor looking to join an established team where you can make a real difference?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading housing association as a Fire Safety Officer within their well-established in-house Fire Safety team.

With fire safety at the top of the agenda, you’ll play a vital role in safeguarding residents and ensuring compliance across a diverse property portfolio in London and the South East.

About the Role

* Deliver Fire Risk Assessments (FRA’s) across a wide range of residential buildings - from high-rise blocks and sheltered schemes to community centres and street conversions.

* Work independently across a region in South West London (Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton, Kingston upon Thames area), managing your own programme of FRA’s while responding to ad-hoc fire queries and engaging with the Fire Service when needed.

* Go beyond the report - building strong relationships with internal stakeholders and ensuring fire safety actions are followed through.

* Benefit from flexibility: typically 1–2 days on site with the rest of the week home-based for reporting, with autonomy to manage your own schedule.

* Collaborate with the wider national fire team, with opportunities to contribute to QA, mentoring and service development.

What We’re Looking For

* Level 3 or 4 qualification in Fire Risk Assessment or Fire Safety Management

* Experience undertaking FRA’s in residential settings (housing, local authority, or similar sleeping-risk environments).

* Good working knowledge of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and wider fire safety legislation.

* Strong communication skills – able to build trust with residents, contractors and internal teams.

* A self-starter who can manage their own programme and take ownership of outcomes, not just reports.

* Full driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential).

What’s on Offer

* Salary: £47,000 – £57,000 (depending on experience)

* Outstanding pension plan (up to 12% contribution).

* 28 days annual leave rising to 31 with service, plus bank holidays.

* Health Cash Plan, non-contributory life assurance, lifestyle benefits and Employee Assistance Programme.

* Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme through Octopus Electric Vehicles

* Flexible working culture with genuine work–life balance - autonomy to manage your diary and programme.

* Clear development and internal progression pathways

Why Join?

This is an organisation with a genuine commitment to progression, inclusion and sustainability, where staff are empowered to develop and supported to succeed.

Many of the team have progressed through the ranks, with internal QA, training and mentoring in place with clear pathways to progress your fire safety career.
