The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is establishing the new Building Safety Regulator (BSR) with the intention of keeping high-rise buildings safe and enabling people to feel safe within their homes. Working with residents and industry to make sure everybody has a voice, BSR will oversee changes to the safety and performance of all buildings and raise industry professional standards year on year.
BSR will serve as a lasting tribute to those who have lost their lives due to poor and substandard buildings and will help ensure tragedies of such proportions as Grenfell are consigned to the past. Over the coming years, as the powers of BSR increase, we will continue to build our team.
As part of the Government’s response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy HSE is establishing a new Building Safety Regulator (BSR). The development and implementation of the legislative framework and operational arrangements to create the BSR offer a unique opportunity to contribute to, and experience working in, an exciting and high-profile area of Government policy that aims to ensure that people living in high-risk buildings (HRBs) are both safe, and feel safe.
Working as part of the operational policy team leading on buildings in occupation, this exciting role will be responsible for end-to-end management and delivery of the SRP, intended to put residents at the heart of the new building safety regime. This will involve working closely with the SRP Chair and members, as well as colleagues in communications, insight and operations to ensure it delivers its statutory functions.
