Salary: £45,000–£55,000+ depending on experience
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
We’re working with a leading property management business that oversees a diverse portfolio of around 300 residential blocks across Surrey, London, and the surrounding areas. They’re now looking for an experienced Health & Safety Manager to take ownership of compliance, safety, and fire risk management across their managed estates. This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive H&S professional to shape policy, advise key stakeholders, and ensure residents live in safe, compliant, and well-maintained buildings.
The Role
As Health & Safety Manager, you’ll be the go-to expert for all matters relating to health, safety, and fire compliance across the residential portfolio. Working closely with Property Managers, directors, freeholders, and contractors, you’ll ensure statutory obligations are met, policies are kept up to date, and safety standards are continuously improved.
Your key responsibilities will include:
-
Managing compliance across all sites, including Fire Safety Act, Building Safety Act, Health & Safety at Work Act, and other statutory requirements.
-
Overseeing and coordinating risk assessments, fire risk assessments, asbestos surveys, water hygiene checks, and other inspections.
-
Ensuring remedial actions are completed, tracked, and recorded.
-
Developing and maintaining company H&S policies and compliance manuals.
-
Keeping up to date with legislative changes and providing clear advice to internal teams and clients.
-
Delivering training and support to Property Managers, directors, and contractors.
-
Investigating incidents and near misses, ensuring corrective actions are implemented and RIDDOR obligations are met.
-
Acting as key liaison with enforcement bodies, insurers, and external consultants.
About You
We’re looking for someone with:
-
Strong knowledge of H&S and fire safety legislation within residential property or a related field (block management, housing associations, facilities management, estates).
-
A relevant H&S qualification (NEBOSH General Certificate is essential; NEBOSH Fire Certificate or equivalent desirable).
-
Excellent communication skills – able to translate complex compliance requirements into clear, practical advice for non-specialists.
-
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities across a large and varied portfolio.
-
Confidence in influencing, advising, and embedding a culture of health & safety awareness.
-
IT proficiency, with experience in using compliance tracking systems.
Why Apply?
-
Salary circa £45,000–£55,000+ (flexible for outstanding candidates).
-
Hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 from home).
-
Opportunity to play a key role in shaping H&S policies and practices within a respected property management company.
-
Diverse portfolio ranging from modern developments to high-end heritage conversions.
