Full job description

Secondment/Fixed Term Contract until 31st of March 2027

Sittingbourne, Maidstone or Farringdon – hybrid working available

Southern Housing is looking for a Residential PEEPs Assurance Officer to help ensure our Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (RPEEPs) framework is effective, compliant and sustainable.

Reporting to the Head of Fire Safety Risk, in this new role you will provide specialist assurance, governance oversight and professional support for the organisation’s RPEEP approach. This role focuses on the background assurance rather than product delivery, ensuring design and implementation of reporting data framework, funding management, compliance and alignment with fire safety legislation, operational practice and building-level fire strategies.

What you will be doing:

Establishing and overseeing a clear business as usual reporting system for RPEEPs, effective internal and external reporting processes to ensure compliance with the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025.
Auditing and reviewing the RPEEP data and process, identifying risks, trends and improvement actions through reporting.
Working with internal stakeholders such as Housing and operational teams to support the management of complex or high-risk cases, and Transformation and Technology teams around data.
Supporting training, guidance and competence development for colleagues involved in the process
Producing reports, briefings and compliance updates for senior leaders and governance forums
Manage RPEEP-related expenditure across the business, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance with government grant assurance requirements.

This role is offered on Secondment/Fixed Term Contract until 31st of March 2027 (extension is subject of additional governance funding) and can be based at one of our main offices in either Farringdon, Croydon, Isle of Wight, Maidstone or Sittingbourne.

This is a hybrid working role with office attendance 1-2 days per week. Home working days will be agreed with your line manager.

What you will need:

Experience working in building safety, fire safety, social housing compliance or a related regulatory or assurance environment
Very good technical skills in Excel, data validation and visualisation tools
Strong understanding of governance, quality assurance and compliance-based approaches
Experience providing professional advice, guidance or second-line oversight rather than direct service delivery
Ability to analyse data, audit findings and compliance information and present them clearly to senior audiences
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including report writing
Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and assurance activities

In your supporting statement, it is important that you address how you meet each of the above seven criteria providing real examples.

Closing Date: Wednesday 10th June at 23:59

Shortlisting Date: from 11th of June 2026

Interview Dates: week commencing 15th of June 2026

Please note: We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. We encourage you to submit your application and supporting statement as soon as possible so your application can be reviewed and considered.
