  What will I be doing?
  We’re working to improve the lives of people in Somerset – and you’ll be a key part of that.
  You’ll be keeping people safe in their homes.

  We’re a team that cares deeply about what we do. It’s not always an easy job, and it’s one that carries a lot of responsibility – so we make sure we support each other. Because we know the work is worth it.

  What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?
  You’ll need to have a qualification in Fire Risk Assessment and Management, and experience of working in the Housing sector in a similar role (e.g., as a Fire Safety Officer or Compliance Case Manager).
  We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be.
  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.
