Following the Council’s successful bid for the Government’s Control of Migration Funding, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably motivated and qualified Senior Technical Officer to join our busy Housing Enforcement Team.

Applicants will have a sound knowledge of housing defects, and will have an excellent understanding of the Housing Health and Safety Rating System and its application. The successful candidate will enable housing and community improvements through proactive work with landlords, tenants and other stakeholders, and will progress their own caseload to enforcement action as necessary.
