This is an opportunity for an experienced trading standards enforcement officer, or someone new to trading standards but with investigative skills or experience, to join our Trading Standards investigations team.
The team investigates all types of fair trading and product safety matters, with an emphasis on protecting vulnerable consumers as well as looking into unfair trading which affects our local businesses or is to the detriment of North Yorkshire’s well-deserved reputation as a fantastic visitor destination. Recent investigations have included fraudulent and non-compliant building work, unsafe stoves, unroadworthy cars, clocked cars, and counterfeit goods, including furniture and fishing lines, so you can be sure you will have a varied and interesting caseload.
North Yorkshire Trading Standards is part of the Yorkshire and the Humber Trading Standards Group so you would also have the chance to work with colleagues across the region and to contribute to regional and national fair-trading projects.
