Braxfield Recruitment is supporting a London local authority in the search for an experienced Interim Compliance Programme Lead to design and embed a case management system covering the full range of hazards brought into scope by Phase 2 of Awaab's Law.
Phase 2 significantly widens the prescribed hazards landlords must respond to within statutory timescales — including excess cold, excess heat, falls, structural collapse, fire, electrical safety and hygiene, alongside damp and mould — and the council needs a specialist who can move quickly to build the structures, processes and reporting that keep it compliant from day one.
The role
You'll be responsible for putting in place a fit-for-purpose system to identify, log, prioritise and track hazards across the council's housing stock, ensuring every case can be evidenced against Awaab's Law timescales. This includes:
Designing and implementing a case management framework covering the full Phase 2 hazard set — damp and mould, excess cold and heat, falls, structural collapse, fire and electrical safety, and hygiene
Mapping current processes against Phase 2 requirements and closing any compliance gaps as quickly as possible
Working closely with repairs, surveying, housing management and legal teams to ensure consistent, timescale-driven handling of cases across all hazard types
Establishing clear reporting and audit trails for cabinet, regulator and resident scrutiny
Advising on resourcing, contractor capacity and escalation routes to meet statutory response times across the different hazard categories
Supporting staff training and change management as the new system beds in
