South West based charitable housing association BCHA was founded over 50 years ago with a continuing mission to meet housing need and end homelessness. We aim to achieve this through the building and provision of affordable and secure homes, and by supporting individuals to take control and lead independent, fulfilled lives. Whether we are developing sites or supporting people with housing, learning or living skills, we believe in equality, the importance of every individual and the right to be valued and treated with dignity and respect. Our doors are open to everyone.

This role is crucial in guaranteeing the safety of our customers in our properties and assuring the legal compliance of all our service areas; gas & electrical safety and management; fire safety and risk management; legionella, asbestos and lifts.
