Recruiting in partnership with Goodman Masson

Goodman Masson is supporting Hackney Council in the recruitment of a Head of Fire Safety, a crucial leadership role responsible for shaping and delivering the Council’s fire safety strategy, procedures and compliance frameworks. This appointment comes at a pivotal time as Hackney strengthens its approach to resident safety and ensures full alignment with the Fire Safety Act, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and the Building Safety Act.

You will lead a well-established team of fire safety professionals and oversee all statutory fire safety functions, including Fire Risk Assessments, fire door inspections, external wall assessments and fire remediation programmes. You will also act as the Council’s principal expert on fire safety, providing informed guidance to senior leaders, elected members, and regulatory partners.

The role requires a strategic thinker who can balance operational delivery with long-term planning. You will work closely with the London Fire Brigade, contractors, residents and internal teams to maintain high standards, strengthen compliance and provide clear, transparent communication around fire safety responsibilities and risks.

Ideal candidates will bring:

Extensive experience in fire safety management within a housing or public-sector context.

Senior leadership capability with experience managing multidisciplinary teams and high-risk portfolios.

Deep knowledge of fire safety legislation, building construction principles and risk assessment methodologies.

Experience managing contracts, external consultants, performance frameworks and complex remedial programmes.

A Level 7 fire safety qualification or equivalent; membership of IFE, IFSM, IOSH or a related professional body.

This is an opportunity to lead a high-impact service, strengthen resident trust and support Hackney’s commitment to safe, compliant and well-managed homes.
