Building Safety Advisor

Who we are

Jigsaw Homes Group is one of the largest housing groups in England with more than 37,500 homes across the North West and East Midlands.

We provide quality, low-cost housing and play a wider role in making sure our residents thrive in their homes and benefit from living in healthy, sustainable communities.

We have an established and dedicated team of 600 employees within our Asset Management department.

Our team prides itself on investing in our own people to deliver first‑class property‑based services across the Group, covering a broad range of disciplines from reactive, planned and grounds maintenance to property refurbishments, estate services, building safety and compliance.

You will be welcomed into a committed and passionate team, with a key focus on professionalism and working together.

We are seeking a passionate Building Safety Advisor to help us take a proactive approach to managing building safety across our 15 higher‑risk buildings (HRBs). Working with colleagues you will help ensure the physical aspects of the building are well maintained and compliant with legislation. You will help with resident engagement and ensure residents are at the heart of what we do.

You will be proactive, people‑focused, have excellent communication skills, and will work closely with the wider Asset Management, repairs teams, and other colleagues across the business to deliver positive outcomes for our customers. You will be a team player but able to work well as an individual on your own projects.

You will help with the development and ongoing management of building safety cases, resident engagement, mandatory occurrence reporting and will work with colleagues on applications to the Building Safety Regulator when work is required to our buildings.

You will be able to work to deadlines and successfully manage differing demands and priorities.

The successful candidate will be part of a small team of building and fire safety professionals, and you will be supported by the Group Building Safety Manager.

We offer employees a very competitive 24 days holiday per annum plus 3 days for Christmas closure (5 day working week) plus bank holidays, plus additional days after 2 years continuous service (to a maximum of 5 days).

We offer our employees the option to buy/sell up to 5 days extra leave per year and we offer compressed hours of work with the option to work a 4‑day working week in a number of our roles, with 50% of your time working from home upon completion of a satisfactory probation period. This allows for a great work/life balance for many employees.

As a Jigsaw employee you will also receive incremental salaried pay, occupational sick pay, access to the Social Housing Pension Scheme, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, BHSF membership, access to on‑site gyms and training/development opportunities.
