Job description

Home, a place where you belong

Working from one of our offices in the North East, from home and the community.

Permanent, full time (37.5 hpw).

Earn circa £55,000 pa based on skills and experience plus brilliant benefits including health cash plan!

You want to make a real difference. You care about safety not just in theory, but in people’s actual homes. This new Building Safety Manager role in our Building Safety Team gives you the chance to shape how safety is done from the start. It’s hands‑on, meaningful work that helps protect our customers and gives them peace of mind in the place they call home.

You’ll lead safety work across our higher‑risk residential buildings, using your technical knowledge to guide decisions, manage risks and make sure we meet the standards set out in the Building Safety Act. This isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about understanding what people need to feel safe and making sure that’s what they get. You’ll work across your region, building strong relationships with colleagues and helping to join the dots between regulation, real‑life and what matters most to customers.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Building Safety Cases from start to finish and keep them up to date.
• Use fire risk assessments to spot risks early and advise on smart, timely actions.
• Guide inspection and remediation work, making sure checks are done and issues are fixed.
• Help housing teams embed safety into everyday practice with clear, practical advice.
• Make sure golden thread data is collected and shared with the right people.
• Support walk‑abouts and meetings to help customers understand what’s happening and why.

Why join us

Imagine finishing each day knowing you’ve made a real difference in our customers’ lives. You’ll be part of a supportive team that takes pride in doing things right, with the autonomy to make decisions and the backing to follow them through.

You have

• Strong experience leading building safety in high-risk residential settings.
• Confidence managing safety cases and golden thread data.
• Deep knowledge of fire risk assessments and remediation.
• Ability to turn complex findings into clear advice for others.
• Professional membership like RICS, CIOB or IFE, or equivalent experience.
• A calm, confident approach when working with contractors, regulators and colleagues.

The practical bits

• You’ll work Monday to Friday.
• You will at times need to flex your working hours to meet with customers when it works best for them, so you may have occasional evening working.
• This is a hybrid role and you’ll spend some days each week out and about or in our offices, and the rest working from home.
• To get from A to B, you’ll need a vehicle insured for business purposes. The great news is that we’ll pay your mileage!
• You need a basic DBS check done and we pay for that.

Stronger together

We do our best work when we’re ourselves. That’s why inclusion, wellbeing, and our diversity networks help make Home Group a great place to work!

What’s in it for you?

• 34 days leave, rising to 39 (this includes bank holidays and a “me day”). The option to buy 5 more each year.
• Health cash plan saving you (and your children) £1140+ each year covering dental, opticians, prescriptions and more.
• Matching pension contribution (up to 7% and life insurance of 3x basic salary).
• Work your way with flexibility to balance life and work.
• Family friendly policies including maternity, paternity, adoption, neonatal, fertility and menopause support.
