Do you thrive in a collaborative environment that values teamwork, inclusion, and respect?

We are looking for a flexible and customer-focused professional Environmental Health Officer, who can manage time and priorities effectively. Capable of working collaboratively and sharing ideas to ensure service excellence is achieved.

You will apply a wide range of regulatory measures aimed at maintaining the safety of our communities within the fields of Food Safety, Infectious Disease investigation, and Workplace Health & Safety. You will be supported by an established team of experienced officers who have delivered excellent service in the face of challenges such as the Covid pandemic and changing regulatory demands.

You will be responsible for the monitoring and enforcement of standards with the aim of improving all categories of food premises for food hygiene. Checking and examining food safety management systems, serving notices, and closing food premises where necessary are all part of the role.

You will need to be comfortable working in a busy environment and managing a diverse caseload. The work requires the ability to communicate with a diverse stakeholder group including councillors, members of the public, and other enforcement agencies.

The ability to collaborate with partner agencies is vital to succeed in this role. Team members also engage proactively with the communities they serve by attending forums and community groups to provide information and advice.
