Contract Details:
* Band: 8a
* Contract: 6 Months Interim, full-time

The role
You'll act as a site lead expert for fire safety, making sure the trust meets its legal and statutory obligations across a complex, multi-site organisation, and providing expert professional advice on current fire safety legislation and the RRO.
Core areas of responsibility include:

* Monitoring and evaluating the fire alarm and detection testing regime
* Supporting the Fire Safety Manager and Authorised Engineer on capital projects, making sure new and upgraded fire systems comply before tender and installation
* Ensuring fire risk assessments are in place on project closure, signed off against building regs and the RRO
* Providing expert fire safety advice to senior management and clinical teams
What I'm looking for
* Strong fire safety experience within a large or complex organisation, ideally NHS or healthcare
