About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

We’re looking for a Compliance Officer (Fire Safety Actions) to join our Residential Building Safety team. In this role, you’ll help make sure our homes meet fire safety standards by supporting the teams responsible for fire safety and risk assessments.

You’ll manage fire safety records, keep track of actions that need to be taken, work with delivery teams, and make sure everything is completed properly and on time. Your work will help keep our residents safe and ensure we meet legal requirements. This is a great chance to build your experience in a busy and supportive team, while making a real difference to people’s lives.

About the team

You’ll be joining a small, dedicated team within the Residential Building Safety & Compliance service. Led by a Compliance Coordinator, the team includes two Compliance Officers and works closely with fire risk assessors, surveyors, and housing delivery teams.

We pride ourselves on being a hard-working, collaborative group that supports one another to deliver high-quality outcomes. Together, we contribute to critical fire safety improvements across Haringey’s housing stock, helping to ensure our residents feel safe and protected in their homes.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a team that values professionalism, teamwork, and making a meaningful impact.

About you

You’ll bring solid experience in administrative work, along with strong Excel and data analysis skills. You’re highly organised, a clear communicator, and naturally proactive when it comes to solving problems and coordinating projects. Ideally, you’ll have some understanding of social housing and fire safety compliance, but what matters most is your ability to work independently and as part of a team. You pay close attention to detail and are always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
