The Building Safety Regulator is recruiting a new Chair for the Residents' Panel.
Deadline for applications: 10th May 2026
The independent Chair for the BSR Residents’ Panel is an important leadership role within the new building safety regime.
The Chair will provide independent oversight and direction to the Panel. This will help ensure residents’ perspectives are heard, understood and meaningfully reflected in regulatory thinking, policy development and decision-making.
The BSR Residents’ Panel brings together people with direct experience of living in higher-risk buildings.
It provides a structured and consistent forum for residents to share their views on building safety, raise concerns and contribute insight into how the system works for those it is designed to protect.
The Panel does not replace formal regulatory processes. Instead, it ensures that residents’ voices remain embedded in the wider building safety conversation – helping to inform how regulation is applied and improved over time.
An effective and trusted Chair is central to making this work well.
