  • Provide specialist fire safety advice across refurbishment, maintenance and capital development projects.
  • Develop and deliver fire safety training, guidance and awareness initiatives.
  • Support emergency planning, evacuation arrangements and exercise programmes.
  • Develop and enhance fire safety policies, procedures and management systems.
  • Monitor compliance, provide assurance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

About You:

You will have:

  • Experience leading fire risk assessment programmes and associated improvement plans.
  • Strong knowledge of UK fire safety legislation and recognised guidance.
  • Practical experience developing fire safety policies, management systems and assurance arrangements.
  • Experience developing and delivering fire safety training, guidance and professional advice.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, influencing and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience supporting emergency planning, resilience or business continuity activities.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a compliance role. It is an opportunity to directly influence organisational decision-making, lead meaningful improvement and help shape the future of a historic and ambitious university.

We offer:

  • Generous annual leave and pension scheme.
  • Hybrid and flexible working opportunities.
  • Professional development and CPD support.
  • Access to health, wellbeing and sports facilities.
  • Diverse and rewarding work across a complex estate.
  • The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the safety and resilience of the university community.
