Job summary:

The Grenfell tragedy of 2017 exposed a range of safety issues in medium and high rise buildings.

Making homes safe for hundreds of thousands of leaseholders and residents is a top priority for the Department and over £5 billion of taxpayer funding has been committed to this fast-moving policy agenda.


The Responsible Industry Division leads on work to ensure that developers and related industries take responsibility for the remediation of life-critical fire-safety defects in residential buildings.


The aim of this programme is to ensure that (i) residents are safe, (ii) developers who developed or refurbished residential buildings with life critical safety defects fix, or pay to fix, those buildings, and (iii) the burden on leaseholders and other taxpayers is minimised.

We have secured pledges from many of the largest developers to do that. Those pledges are currently being converted into legally binding contracts, representing an estimated commitment of at least £2 billion.


We are recruiting up for 2 x HEOs to support the work of the monitoring of the developer self-remediation contract, a key component in ensuring that developers are held to account.


These roles will play a crucial role in scrutinising data returns from developers, collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders to deliver feedback to developers within set deadlines and inform development of operational policy.

The Division sits alongside other teams running government-funded remediation programmes and raising the necessary funding through a new levy.


Job description:


  • Will act as one of the first points of contact for industry actors who are eligible to be part of the selfremediation programme and/or Responsible Actors' Scheme
  • Ability to manage and respond to correspondence

Person specification:


  • Good written and verbal communication skills, including building stakeholder relations
  • Strong organisational, time management and prioritisation skills with an eye for detail
  • Demonstrate ability to work under pressure flexibly and positively
  • Comfortable working independently and collaboratively
  • Strong IT skills and able to quickly learn new platforms

Further desirable attributes are:


  • Previous casework or information management experience.
  • Familiarity with the residential development and/or construction industries.
