You’ll take day-to-day responsibility for monitoring allocated landlord health and safety compliance programmes, making sure actions are progressed, records are accurate and potential risks are identified and escalated.
You’ll monitor compliance activity across key areas including gas, electrical safety, fire safety, asbestos, water hygiene and legionella, lifting equipment, damp and mould, and other landlord compliance requirements.
