Lancaster, United Kingdom Aster Group Full time

**The Opportunity**:
Are you looking for a role that will make a real difference to the safety of residents? Do you have a passion for Fire safety? Are you an expert in providing fire safety advice?

If so, then we want to hear from you

We are looking for a Fire Risk Officer to provide specialist fire safety advice to the Aster group. Your role will be to ensure that we are operating within the legal requirements when it comes to fire risk.

You will be the go-to person for developing action and safety implementation plans for your area and will ensure that any works that arise from the fire risk assessments are carried out.

There are two positions available for this role. One of the positions will ideally be located within easily commutable distance to Central London. Travel to other business areas will be required, however the person is more important than the location.

**What you’ll be doing**

As our new Fire Risk Officer you will be carrying out Fire Risk Assessments of various types of premises. You will also be assessing the fire strategy for all relevant Group buildings and all relevant parts of buildings in accordance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

You will be liaising with external bodies such as Primary Fire Authority, contractors, consultants, Local Authorities, and other Associations, ensuring that regular inspections are carried out on all Group dwellings and buildings with common areas, undertaking fire risk assessments according to PAS 79.

Your role will be to ensure that timescales adhered to by issuing programmes of fire safety work to the planned delivery teams.

**About you**

To be successful in this role, you will need to have experience in carrying out fire risk inspections and producing reports. As well as substantial knowledge and ability to act in role encompassing fire risk assessment and fire safety within a housing environment. You'll also need to have experience of researching and developing fire safety training.

Fire safety and risk assessment training to a minimum of level three is a must have (Institute of Fire Engineers/Institute of Fire Safety Managers or equivalent)

You will have the freedom to manage your own time, so you will need to be used to organising your own diary and working independently.

There will be significant travel to our sites with this role, so you will need to have a full clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle for travel to sites.

**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, virtual GP services, mental health training and a health cash plan
