Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for a Senior Property Compliance Officer to join our Property team.

About us

We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support, and life skills in order to get them back into education, training and employment.

Together with our partners, we support over 16,000 young people each year, and we’re committed to ending youth homelessness by 2037.

About the role

As Senior Property Compliance Officer, you’ll lead Centrepoint’s approach to water hygiene and asbestos compliance across all properties, ensuring we meet and exceed statutory and best-practice standards (ACOP L8/HSG274; CAR 2012).

You’ll own the compliance framework for water and asbestos, oversee risk assessments and remedial actions, and maintain an audit-ready data trail. You’ll also play a key role in assuring compliance across other safety domains — gas, fire, electrical, and LOLER — supporting our commitment to a safety-first culture for staff and residents.

This is a senior, hands-on role with line-management responsibility for the Property Compliance Officer, as well as direct oversight of competent contractors and suppliers.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading water hygiene and asbestos compliance across Centrepoint’s property portfolio.

• Owning and maintaining policies, risk registers, and audit programmes for water and asbestos.

• Approving and assuring risk assessments, RAMS, and remedial actions.

• Managing competent contractors and suppliers, ensuring performance against KPIs.

• Providing assurance and escalation across wider compliance areas (gas, fire, electrical, LOLER, etc.).

• Producing clear and insightful KPI and compliance reports for senior forums.

• Championing a safety-first, resident-centred culture across all services.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience leading water hygiene and asbestos compliance across a multi-site portfolio.

• In-depth knowledge of ACOP L8, HSG274, and CAR 2012.

• Competency to act as Legionella Responsible Person and/or BOHS P405 qualified for asbestos management.

• Experience managing contractors and assuring compliance performance.

• Strong planning, reporting, and stakeholder engagement skills.

• A proactive, accountable, and collaborative approach, with a focus on continuous improvement.

(Experience within the supported housing or charity sector would be advantageous but not essential.)

Why join Centrepoint?

In return for your efforts you’ll receive a competitive salary, excellent training and development, and a host of staff benefits including:

• 25 days’ annual leave per year, rising to 27 days with service

• Healthcare cash plan (covering dental, optical and alternative therapies)

• Private medical insurance

• Income protection

• Employer pension contributions of 5%

• Cycle to Work and interest-free travel loan schemes

At Centrepoint, we’re passionate about fairness and equality, and we value the rich diversity of our workforce. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and lived experiences.

OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE

The Health IDVA provides vital support to those affected by domestic abuse, helping them access the specialist services they need and navigate challenges in their daily lives. You will work directly with patients with a wide range of experiences and needs, offering advocacy, guidance, and practical support. A key part of the role is raising awareness among community healthcare professionals about the impact of domestic abuse, particularly on mental health, through training, guidance, and ongoing support, so that patients are identified earlier and supported more effectively.

This role addresses a need in community healthcare, where many patients are not recognised as survivors of domestic abuse. By combining domestic abuse expertise with a therapeutic approach, the Health IDVA will provide direct support to patients while helping community services and healthcare teams feel confident and equipped to respond appropriately. You will be supported by the Head of Adult Services and HIDVA Managers. You will have the opportunity to complete a formal domestic abuse qualification once you pass your probation (if not already qualified).

Through this work, the Health IDVA will help ensure that patients receive timely, compassionate support while also strengthening the skills, confidence, and understanding of community services and professionals. By building strong partnerships and sharing expertise, the role will contribute to a more coordinated and effective response to domestic abuse, ensuring that patients are supported at every stage and that services are better equipped to meet their needs.

Partnership Working and Training

• Promote the Health IDVA service and establish formal working links with GP practices and other healthcare providers (such as dental, health visiting or mental health teams.

• Deliver training sessions to community healthcare staff to raise awareness of domestic abuse, safe enquiry and appropriately responding to disclosures.
• Contribute to multi-agency safeguarding meetings and local domestic abuse forums to share learning and strengthen partnership working.

At Worldwide Cancer Research, we start new cures. Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but cutting-edge science can give us hope. Discovery research seeks to uncover new knowledge that could change the way we think about cancer. It reveals new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer that can save lives.

We actively seek unconventional and imaginative ideas from scientists at all stages of their career, across the globe. In some cases, we are the only organisation that will fund a scientist’s idea. We take an unbiased approach to research funding by focusing on supporting only the best ideas for new cures. By having a diverse research portfolio, we increase our chances of finding breakthroughs.

Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries. Anyone that helps bring forward breakthroughs – including our staff, our supporters, and the researchers we fund – is a Curestarter.

As a charity, we are committed to opportunity without barriers, and we are striving to seek, value and learn from different perspectives and experiences. We want Worldwide Cancer Research to be an inclusive organisation – where everyone can be themselves and feel valued – as diverse as the scientific community we fund and the families whose lives we impact.

We are committed to ensuring that we provide equal opportunities to every applicant regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. We aim to ensure that our recruitment process is unbiased and that everyone is treated equitably because our team members are at the heart of everything we do to start new cancer cures around the world.

The verger team is at the heart of Cathedral life – making sure the main Cathedral building is presented in the best way at all times and that the Chapter House and other buildings are prepared for use to a high standard. The broad range of services and events held at Chelmsford Cathedral require accurate planning, teamwork and communication.
