Tuesday 14th of April 2026
The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) has a Residents’ Panel to advise and to help shape their approaches and to ensure that residents are at the heart of building safety.
They are currently looking to recruit a Chair for the panel, to lead the meetings and ongoing work of the panel. They are seeking applications from current residents of high-rise buildings.
The panel is a statutory committee under the Building Safety Act 2022. It has been running for over three years and has become an integral part of how BSR works.
You’ll bring a solid understanding of the challenges faced by residents in high-rise buildings. You’ll be comfortable challenging opinion, using evidence to support discussions, understand equality, and be able to run effective, inclusive meetings.
Your tenure as Chair will be for a period of at least two years.
The panel meets four times a year for 1.5-2 hours, however as Chair you are likely to have additional meetings to attend with the BSR and others. At least one meeting per year that takes place in the evening or at the weekend. The panel’s views are also gathered via correspondence and short surveys.
Applications close on the 10th May 2026
