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 a Grade 7 to implement and oversee operational policy development for the developer self-remediation programme, finalising and refining the design and development of systems to hold developers to account for fixing buildings.

This grade 7 will play a crucial role in operational design with a focus on (i) collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to deliver a robust long-term information management system (ii) refining implementing operational policies and processes to facilitate the smooth-running of the operational delivery of the developer self-remediation programme.

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


Job description:


  • Designing and shaping operational policy to support the opening of the statutory Responsible Actors' Scheme and wider developer selfremediation programme, including structuring and mobilisation of new operational process
  • Designing activities associated with medium to longterm operations in relation to developer selfremediation, building on lessons learned from the initial phases, and working closely with the commercial and operations G7 leads on reviewing outsourcing/procurement options
  • Implementing the above and overseeing a team of caseworkers and external consultants to operate the programme
  • Direct interaction with developers at senior level, both as part of ongoing regular interactions and when interventions are needed
  • Working closely with policy colleagues to agree operational policies on the operation of the scheme, including issues of interpretation or policy that arise during operations
  • Daytoday management of a team of staff to support these activities.

Person specification:


  • Ability to structure and develop operational policy
  • Ability to successfully lead a new and growing team
  • Ability to engage senior internal and external stakeholders
  • Flexibility and resilience to work in a changing environment where G7s will need to work across boundaries and areas of expertise to mobilise a new activity.

Further desirable attributes are:


  • Familiarity with establishing information management systems
  • Familiarity with the residential development and/or construction industries
  • Experience of Project Management
