Fire Risk Assessor​/Health and Safety Advisor

Position: Fire Risk Assessor / Health and Safety Advisor (Permanent)
About the business

Our client is a small, specialist SME consultancy providing high-quality fire risk assessment and health and safety consultancy services. The business is technically led, close-knit, and professional, with a strong emphasis on sound judgement, practical advice, and work that is clear, defensible, and proportionate. As a BAFE accredited consultancy, the team works across complex residential, supported living, and commercial environments, focusing on quality and technical accuracy rather than volume-driven delivery.

About the role

We are looking to appoint a Fire Risk Assessor / Health & Safety Assessor to join our Fire Risk Consultancy division. This role will involve carrying out fire risk assessments, general risk assessments, and site surveys across a range of complex residential and commercial properties.

The role is suitable for experienced assessors as well as those earlier in their career who are keen to progress within the fire safety and health and safety sector. You will be trusted to manage your own workload, work flexibly, and deliver professional, well-considered reports. The level of technical complexity and responsibility will reflect your experience, with structured support available where required.

A key development opportunity within this role is the chance to be trained and developed in broader fire safety consultancy work, supporting progression into more complex areas of fire safety over time.

Key responsibilities

You will be responsible for undertaking fire risk assessments in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as well as completing general risk assessments for residential and commercial premises. The role involves carrying out site surveys and inspections to identify fire and health and safety risks, applying relevant legislation, British Standards, and guidance, and producing clear, well-structured fire risk assessment and general risk assessment reports.

You will also be expected to provide proportionate and practical safety advice and communicate professionally with clients and duty holders.

What we are looking for

Applicants should hold a recognised fire risk assessment and/or health and safety qualification, such as the NEBOSH Fire Certificate, NEBOSH General Certificate, or a Level 3 Fire Risk Assessment qualification. You should have experience undertaking fire risk assessments and general risk assessments, along with a solid understanding of fire safety principles and health and safety risk assessment methodology.

Technical environment and development

You will work alongside three experienced fire risk consultants with over 40 years of combined experience in a consultancy environment that actively encourages technical discussion, mentoring, and peer review. Those earlier in their career will be supported through a full and comprehensive training programme, including mentoring, structured technical development, peer review, and full CPD support.
