As an Environmental Health Officer you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Our Public Protection and Licensing service works to ensure that every one of our residents, businesses and visitors enjoys a clean, safe and quiet city, and when you join our Proactive Noise Team you’ll respond to complaints relating to residential, commercial and street-based noise, odour and light pollution. Harnessing your knowledge of environmental health policies and legislation, you’ll work to make our borough a healthy and peaceful place to live, work and visit.
Carrying out routine or unannounced visits and inspections to ensure compliance with legislation, and taking action to improve conditions through engagement and education, you’ll deliver a fair and informed response to complaints and concerns from our communities, resolving issues in a timely and efficient way. Ready to take enforcement action if necessary, and with the expertise to initiate legal proceedings and prepare and give evidence in court, you’ll be committed to promoting the integration of environmental health principals throughout our organisation, and providing expert guidance to businesses, residents and visitors.
Always ready to respond quickly to concerns raised by our communities, prioritising those that have the highest impact, and resolving complex and recurring complaints, you’ll take a proactive interest in identifying areas of risk to the public, educating people on the impact of their actions and where necessary, working to stop negative behaviour. Taking a positive approach to ensuring compliance, and helping businesses and individuals meet regulatory requirements, you’ll use your knowledge of environmental health to safeguard standards and peoples’ health. We’ll also expect you to undertake project-based work that focuses on improving the systems, policies and procedures we use to deliver a first class service.
