Building Safety Regulator
Disclosure Officer 

Let’s conduct effective investigations. Let’s build together.

About us
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the independent regulator for work-related health and safety. Its purpose is to prevent workplace death, injury or ill health. To achieve this, HSE is responsible for setting the strategy, policy and legal framework for health and safety in Great Britain. 

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, HSE worked closely with the Home Office and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government to support the Government’s Building Safety Programme. After the Building Safety Bill received Royal Assent in 2022, HSE formally established the Building Safety Regulator (BRS). The BRS exists to establish a more rigorous and robust regulatory framework for high-rise buildings in England. 

We want to serve as a lasting tribute to those who have lost their lives due to poor and substandard structures. We will consign these instances to the past by providing oversight of the built environment, setting standards, offering advice to industry and Government, and overseeing work to drive increased competence of professions and trades working on buildings.

The role
As Disclosure Officer, you will support the Specialist Investigations Team by providing a comprehensive and effective disclosure service for criminal, civil and regulatory enforcement cases – including assessing, summarising and scheduling all materials gathered. Your primary goal is to make the necessary information available to the team so they can conduct a thorough and effective investigation.

Your key responsibilities will include: reviewing and assessing material retained within an investigation; identifying potential problems with continuity or evidence; keeping material under review as the case develops; preparing disclosure schedules; identifying third parties that may hold relevant material; responding appropriately to any relevant court authority; and keeping up to date with recent legislation and case law. 

About you
You are an experienced Disclosure Officer with an associated minimum level 6 qualification. You will already have or are willing to work towards Intelligence Professionalisation Programme (IPP) accreditation. If you have not already attained membership of a relevant professional body, you will be willing to work towards one.

It is essential to have experience working within the Criminal Procedure Investigations Act 1996 (CPIA), and beneficial to have experience in Civil Procedure disclosure. You should also have experience using document and case management systems, raising disclosure issues during ongoing and completed investigations, and the ability to embed and continuously improve processes – all with a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy.

Benefits
We offer competitive salary bands that reflect your role and position within the Civil Service. And, as a Civil Service employee, you’ll receive a range of benefits, including 25 days’ annual leave (increasing to 30 days after five years), an excellent pension scheme, flexible working patterns, family-friendly policies including up to a full year of parental leave, interest-free season-ticket loans, and dedicated health, safety and wellbeing business partners.
