No two days are the same. One day you could be investigating complex noise nuisance cases, reviewing major planning applications or appearing at a licensing hearing.

Supporting and mentoring junior officers, trainees and apprentices.
Leading and developing one or more specialist service areas, including:
- Acoustics
- Air Quality
- Environmental Permitting
- Contaminated Land
- Private Water Supplies
- Statutory Nuisance

About You

We're looking for a confident and experienced professional who can combine technical expertise with excellent communication and leadership skills.

You will have:

Relevant professional registration (where applicable).
Significant experience within Environmental Protection.
Strong knowledge of environmental health legislation and enforcement practices.
Experience investigating complex nuisance and noise complaints.
Experience supporting, mentoring or developing less experienced colleagues.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
The ability to make balanced decisions and manage a varied workload.

You'll be someone who enjoys building positive relationships, solving challenging problems and delivering excellent outcomes for residents, businesses and communities.

What we offer:

Financial: An attractive basic salary within a clear pay structure. A starting salary of £51,038 increasing to £52,381 after one years service and increasing further to £53,724 upon completion of two years in post (subject to managerial approval).
Holiday Entitlement: 26 days annual leave (increasing to 29 days after 5 years continuous Local Government service) plus three additional days in December and bank holidays.
Pensions: Membership of the Local Government (CARE – Career Average (Revalued Earnings) Pension Scheme – Employer contribution of 19.7%.
