• Permanent full time position - 37 hours per week.
• Grade 11: £30,296 - £33,945 per annum plus an additional recruitment allowance of £5,000 per annum for a minimum period of 3 years.
• 30 days annual leave.
• Hybrid role.

We’re working to improve the lives of people in Somerset – and you’ll be a key part of that. 

You’ll be our expert on asbestos, radon, water safety and all other property safety matters for over 6000 Council owned buildings.

(Well, we made that sound a lot simpler than it is, didn’t we…)

You’ll also be leading and coaching a small, friendly operational team. If you don’t have management experience, this could be a real opportunity for you to move in that direction. If you do, there will still be plenty of opportunities for you to grow and develop with us over time.

This is one of those jobs that really makes a difference, and you’ll finish each day knowing that people are safer in their homes because of your time, skills and expertise.

Although you’ll need to be in our depot in Wellington twice per week, you’ll be able to work flexibly from home the rest of the time.

We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. 

You’ll need to have relevant qualifications (e.g. Asbestos Management P405, Water Hygiene Legionella P901, NEBOSH general certificate) and experience of working in the Housing sector.

If you’re currently working in a similar role, that’s great – but this could also be an opportunity to step up (if, for example, you’re currently working as Compliance Case Manager/Officer and want to move into a more senior role).

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences to enrich our team. You can always contact the hiring manager for a chat if there’s anything you want to talk about before you apply.

We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

• We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
• Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
• Staff discounts in gyms.
• Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
• Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
• A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
• My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more...
