THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

Housing and Commercial Partnerships in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where people use their vision and commitment to open doors for the next generations.

Nothing beats the feeling of helping someone find their passion. At Westminster City Council, our City Lions team helps young local people engage with culture, creativity and dreams. When they came across a lonely, isolated 16-year-old who called himself a failure, they knew what to do. They worked 1-2-1 to find the thing this boy really loved. YouTube, it turned out. But it’s impossible to turn that into a career, right? Wrong. A week later, he was enrolled on the British Film Institute film-making programme. It was the ultimate light-bulb moment. And it turned him into what he is today – a budding Spielberg with a world of opportunity at his feet.

The Role:

As a Building Safety professional at Westminster City Council, you can make your own contribution to Westminster’s success. In this role, you’ll play a vital part in ensuring our residents live in safe, well-maintained, and high-quality homes by supporting the delivery of a proactive and compliant building safety service across all high-risk buildings.

You will be responsible for preparing and submitting Building Assessment Certificate (BAC) applications and collating Safety Case Reports, Resident Engagement Strategies, and Mandatory Occurrence Reporting systems in line with the Building Safety Act 2022. You will produce and maintain building safety risk assessments, specifically for the events of fire and structural failure – identifying hazards, implementing and maintaining effective controls, and escalating where measures are inadequate.

As part of the Building Safety team, you will work collaboratively with surveyors, resident engagement officers, fire safety professionals, and health and safety colleagues to ensure compliance and accurate record keeping. You’ll also liaise with contractors, consultants, and other internal teams to ensure all buildings meet current building safety legislation and uphold the golden thread of information, particularly for new high-risk developments.

You’ll maintain and update emergency plans for each Higher Risk Building and act as a key liaison with the Building Safety Regulator through the designated named person. Regular inspections of high-risk buildings will be part of your role, reporting defects and contributing to or managing client briefs where improvement works are required.

You will also provide reports and building safety data to the Principal Building Safety Manager and other stakeholders as needed, and offer competent advice on policy, procedures, and compliance to enhance the Council’s safety culture. As a visible and trusted presence, you will support resident engagement activities, attend meetings where required, and contribute to building safety training across departments.

This is your opportunity to be part of a supportive team, in a service that is critical to protecting lives and improving homes across Westminster. You’ll help shape how we embed safety, compliance, and trust – while directly improving outcomes for the communities we serve.

Please refer to the for more information.

About You:

You are a proactive professional with a strong understanding of the legal and operational responsibilities relating to building safety. With demonstrable and extensive knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, the Fire Safety Act 2021, and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, you are confident applying this legislation to ensure high standards of safety across residential buildings.

You bring solid experience in building management and operations, particularly in residential settings, as well as in construction projects, where you’ve applied your understanding of relevant legislation and best practice to support safety, compliance, and delivery. You may have worked within local government, with a background in Construction Management, Housing, Building Surveying, Project Management or Contract Administration – and are comfortable operating in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

With a strong commitment to customer service, you have been responsible for ensuring high levels of resident satisfaction, and have experience liaising with residents, leaseholders, and councillors, using your excellent communication skills to build trust and clarity. You have the confidence to question proposals, assess value for money, and contribute meaningfully to strategic discussions.

Technically capable, you have the ability to use compliance software to manage building data and reporting, and you can interpret and review risk assessments, ideally supported by third-party approved training or schemes. You’re detail-oriented, highly organised, and bring sound judgment when reviewing risk, quality, and performance.

Above all, you're committed to safety, transparency, and delivering for residents, with the knowledge, confidence, and communication skills to back it up.
