Colchester Borough Homes, committed to better housing
Permanent, 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Colchester Borough Homes (CBH) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Colchester City Council. As part of the local business community since 2003, we are an award-winning organisation providing management and maintenance services to around 7,000 residential properties and the Council’s commercial and public buildings, including Colchester Castle and Colchester Town Hall.
CBH is a fantastic place to work, delivering vital services and making a real difference to our tenants’ and leaseholders’ lives. We are an ambitious organisation focused on delivering great value services that make a difference and our vision is to enable customers, colleagues and communities to thrive.
About the role
Building safety has always been an important area of Colchester Borough Homes’ activity. As an organisation, we’re taking the necessary steps to ensure that we address all of the requirements of legislation, including the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety Act as well as emerging themes from the Social Housing Regulation Bill currently being considered in Parliament. We also need to ensure our ongoing compliance with the “Big 6” Health and Safety categories (Asbestos, Legionella, Gas, Lifts, Fire & Electrical). CBH requires a staffing structure with the necessary capacity and resources to meet these demands.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in our newly created Building Safety team. We’re recruiting a Compliance Surveyor (Gas) who will report into the Building Safety Manager (Gas, Electrical and Lifts). The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the gas servicing contract(s) and contractors to ensure compliance with current gas regulations to both domestic and commercial installations.
About you
Applicants must have an understanding of the repairs and maintenance process, substantial knowledge and understanding of the current gas safety (installation and use) regulations, and previous experience working in the gas industry.
Applicants must also have the following recognised qualifications to enable Gas Safe Registration, including:
CCN1, CENWAT, CKR1, HTR1, MET1, CPA1
Commercial and heat pump experience would be beneficial
Benefits of working for CBH
In return, we are offering a competitive salary, including excellent benefits, which include:
• Local Government Pension Scheme with a 20.8 % employer contribution
• Excellent training, development, and progression opportunities
• Generous annual leave entitlement, 23 days annual leave (increasing to 26
days after 5 years’ service), plus bank and public holidays and two extra
company holidays during the Christmas period.
• The opportunity to buy up to another 5 days holiday, subject to conditions
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Employee Benefits Platform
• Provision of a smartphone and laptop
• Discounted gym member - corporate membership rate at Leisure World and
the Northern Gateway.
• 1 Volunteering Day per year
• Free Flu Jab
• Agile Working at Colchester Borough Homes means having some flexibility
about when, where and how we work to best meet the needs of your role and
service area.
Other employee benefits include payment of a professional subscription, free yearly eye tests plus a contribution towards glasses for VDU use.
If you wish to discuss this post further, please contact the Head of Building Safety, Julia Beavis on 07989 768378 for an informal conversation.
