Job description

Our client in Essex are seeking an EHO to undertake an Inspection Project of approximately 160 dwellings in the borough (with provision for possible additional inspections), on licensed houses in multiple occupation (HMO) as part of the mandatory licensing process.

The HMOs are currently licensed but have had no licence application verification or condition compliance checks and no Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) assessment. The Council will provide a copy of the licence and relevant parts of the application for each dwelling.

Inspectors will need experience and competence in Housing Regulation, HHSRS, HMO licensing and HMO management compliance. The Council will carry out random auditing of reports and inspections.

You will be using Metastreet so you must have previous experience of this software.

Remuneration: £180 per inspection (umbrella/Ltd).
