Adecco is proud to be working in partnership with Swindon Borough Council to recruit a range of roles across Housing and Corporate Repairs, including:


Specialist Compliance Officer - Fire Safety


Salary: £40,777 | Level: CFL9


Join Swindon Borough Council and play a vital role in strengthening fire safety compliance across our housing and corporate property portfolio. This specialist role sits at the heart of our commitment to safer homes and buildings.


Background


As part of a £250 million improvement programme following a C3 judgement, Swindon Borough Council is strengthening governance, assurance and delivery across all compliance areas - with fire safety a central priority.


Your New Role


As Specialist Compliance Officer - Fire Safety, you will provide specialist technical expertise and day-to-day coordination of fire safety compliance activity across housing and corporate properties.


Reporting to the Service Manager or Service Lead, you will support the planning and delivery of fire risk assessments, inspections, servicing and remedial works. You will monitor contractor performance, maintain accurate compliance records and escalate issues where standards are not met, supporting effective assurance and inspection readiness.


You will also provide technical advice to managers and operational colleagues, support service improvement initiatives and help embed a strong culture of safety and compliance. While you may assist across wider compliance services where required, you will retain a clear specialist focus in fire safety as a subject matter expert.


What You’ll Need to Succeed


You will have experience delivering or supporting fire safety compliance within a local authority or social housing environment, with strong knowledge of fire safety requirements and health and safety practices.


A recognised fire safety qualification (such as NEBOSH Fire) is essential, and professional membership is desirable. You will bring a methodical, organised approach and confidence handling technical compliance information.


What You’ll Get in Return


We offer:


*Competitive local government pay and benefits
*Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
*Professional development in a specialist compliance role
*The opportunity to make a direct contribution to resident and building safety
