Building Safety Officer - St John's Wood, NW8 7ER, United Kingdom

Are you a building safety professional looking for a new challenge? 

As our Building Safety Officer you will be responsible for the monitoring and reporting on Aster’s high risk buildings, which include our tall buildings and care homes.  Predominantly, these are in London, but we also have a building in Plymouth amongst others, so there will be a requirement to cover across the South West.

You will work directly with the Building Safety Manager, representing Aster as an accountable person within the Building Safety Act.

Your role will be customer focussed whilst keeping a strong eye on compliance, working alongside the business to ensure that we maximise resources whilst providing a really high quality service.

You will be seen as a main point of contact for building safety matters for both our residents and third party stakeholders for specific buildings.

The role will see you –


  • Providing an on site presence in our high risk buildings, checking fire safety measure and controls are working effectively
  • Liaising with our Service Compliance Operatives to ensure all planned checks are being undertaken
  • Supporting the wider team to ensure effective operation of mechanical plant and equipment

You’ll also be involved in ensuring training and familiarisation of fire safety awareness is undertaken.  You’ll work with the business to ensure that resident friendly version of fire safety documents and information are available.

It will be a varied role and will keep you busy and you’ll see the importance of the role on a daily basis.

About you

You’ll come to this role with a good understanding of building and fire safety strategies and systems that are used within social housing, particularly high risk buildings.  You’ll ideally have a Level 3 NEBOSH qualification, which will give you the knowledge and understanding to really make an impact.

You will have experience of risk and compliance management and may also hold qualifications in fire door inspections as well as other health and safety practices

You’ll have strong administrative skills to support the role, being naturally organised, able to keep accurate records and being able to follow process and guide others.

It’s likely that priorities will change, sometimes with little notice so you’ll be confident in your ability to adapt, multi-task and ensure your responsibilities are dealt with until resolution.

You will be happy to travel for the role and will hold a full UK driving licence and will have access to a vehicle for work purposes. 

What’s in it for me

We invest in our colleagues because we know if they have a better day at work, the service our customers receive will be better. The Aster Offer is our offer to our colleagues to ensure they have a great day at work and includes things like:

  • Flexible working – whilst some roles need to be carried out in a specific place at a specific time, where possible we encourage our colleagues to work to their own schedule at a location that suits them, their team and our business’ needs
  • A focus on colleague wellbeing – workshops, an employee assistance programme offering counselling and support, mental health training and a health cash plan
  • We invest in colleagues’ careers and development through our leader and colleague development frameworks
  • Defined Contribution Pension and attached life assurance
  • Volunteering hours available to all colleagues to enable them to give back
  • Savings at cinemas, gyms, holidays, days out, various shops and eateries and lots more

Job Description

About the role

It’s knowing you’re protecting the community that surrounds you.



It’s feeling trusted to deliver to the very highest standards. And it’s the pride in protecting an environment of unique historic importance. This is what makes working for the Royal Household exceptional.



Based at the Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace, in this dual role you’ll join our Fire and Access team to provide a 24/7 fire surveillance service and support all aspects of fire safety across the entire London estate, as well as providing access control support at the Royal Mews.



Key Responsibilities:

You’ll monitor and respond to automatic fire detection systems, carry out ad-hoc patrols, as well as acting as first-response in the event of a fire or other emergency across all parts of the London estate.



Based in the Control Room, you’ll be expected to monitor the security and access control systems, working in close liaison with the Police Control Room.



You’ll also manage hot works permits, carry out fire safety ‘point of presence’ inspections, call point testing, fire panels, inspections of firefighting equipment, maintaining logs of activity on line and in daily logs.



At other times, you’ll be a visible presence to ensure the safe operation of vehicle and pedestrian access routes for the Royal Mews, verifying passes and identification.



You’ll also support daily operations by issuing keys, helping to co-ordinate parking and accepting deliveries.



In the event of a fire, you’ll use systems to monitor smoke levels and make decisions regarding safe evacuation, carry out dynamic risk assessments, and act as ‘pathfinders’ for the fire service.

You will also provide first aid support to the Royal Mews and elsewhere as required.



You may be required to attend some events to ensure a Fire Service presence.

The breadth of this role will provide opportunities to develop your existing skills, whilst gaining experience and training in new areas, enabling you to deliver a vital service to this unique organisation.



Shift Pattern:

You will work a 12 hour shift pattern of two days and two nights with four days off.



About you

Essential Criteria:



While experience of working in the emergency services, preferably the fire service, would be an advantage, it’s your pro-active attitude and team-focused approach that will make the real difference.

Standard IT skills are a must, including an ability to input data into spreadsheets, and you can also learn new systems quickly enabling you to operate our fire and security systems.



With a good level of physical fitness, you’ll be confident carrying out inspections, working at heights and in confined spaces.



Interpersonal skills are vital too, because you’ll be working closely with a wide range of people including employees, residents and visitors.



With initiative, a responsive attitude and calm under pressure, you’re as effective working alone as you are working as part of a team.



All applicants must also hold a full, clean UK driving licence as some driving will be required between sites.



Benefits:

We know that to deliver our best work; we need to feel at our best. That’s why at the Royal Household we offer a generous benefits package designed to support your wellbeing and life priorities.



Enjoy 25 days annual leave, rising to 30 days pro rata (plus bank holidays) dependent on the length of time you have worked for us.



Our excellent non-contributory pension plan (we’ll contribute 15% and you can contribute more if you wish) is highly valued by our employees, as is complimentary lunch on-site to keep you fuelled throughout the day.



We also offer a range of leave options to support your life priorities, such as parental pay and leave and volunteering days, as well as benefits to support your physical and mental wellbeing.



Other perks include 20% off at our Royal Collection Trust Shops and complimentary admission tickets across all our locations, along with many more exclusive employee discounts.

Job Description

About the role

It’s knowing you’re protecting the community that surrounds you.



It’s feeling trusted to deliver to the very highest standards. And it’s the pride in protecting an environment of unique historic importance. This is what makes working for the Royal Household exceptional.



Based at the Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace, in this dual role you’ll join our Fire and Access team to provide a 24/7 fire surveillance service and support all aspects of fire safety across the entire London estate, as well as providing access control support at the Royal Mews.



Key Responsibilities:

You’ll monitor and respond to automatic fire detection systems, carry out ad-hoc patrols, as well as acting as first-response in the event of a fire or other emergency across all parts of the London estate.



Based in the Control Room, you’ll be expected to monitor the security and access control systems, working in close liaison with the Police Control Room.



You’ll also manage hot works permits, carry out fire safety ‘point of presence’ inspections, call point testing, fire panels, inspections of firefighting equipment, maintaining logs of activity on line and in daily logs.



At other times, you’ll be a visible presence to ensure the safe operation of vehicle and pedestrian access routes for the Royal Mews, verifying passes and identification.



You’ll also support daily operations by issuing keys, helping to co-ordinate parking and accepting deliveries.



In the event of a fire, you’ll use systems to monitor smoke levels and make decisions regarding safe evacuation, carry out dynamic risk assessments, and act as ‘pathfinders’ for the fire service.

You will also provide first aid support to the Royal Mews and elsewhere as required.



You may be required to attend some events to ensure a Fire Service presence.

The breadth of this role will provide opportunities to develop your existing skills, whilst gaining experience and training in new areas, enabling you to deliver a vital service to this unique organisation.



Shift Pattern:

You will work a 12 hour shift pattern of two days and two nights with four days off.



About you

Essential Criteria:



While experience of working in the emergency services, preferably the fire service, would be an advantage, it’s your pro-active attitude and team-focused approach that will make the real difference.

Standard IT skills are a must, including an ability to input data into spreadsheets, and you can also learn new systems quickly enabling you to operate our fire and security systems.



With a good level of physical fitness, you’ll be confident carrying out inspections, working at heights and in confined spaces.



Interpersonal skills are vital too, because you’ll be working closely with a wide range of people including employees, residents and visitors.



With initiative, a responsive attitude and calm under pressure, you’re as effective working alone as you are working as part of a team.



All applicants must also hold a full, clean UK driving licence as some driving will be required between sites.



Benefits:

We know that to deliver our best work; we need to feel at our best. That’s why at the Royal Household we offer a generous benefits package designed to support your wellbeing and life priorities.



Enjoy 25 days annual leave, rising to 30 days pro rata (plus bank holidays) dependent on the length of time you have worked for us.



Our excellent non-contributory pension plan (we’ll contribute 15% and you can contribute more if you wish) is highly valued by our employees, as is complimentary lunch on-site to keep you fuelled throughout the day.
