Environmental Health Practitioner

We have excellent opportunities for experienced Environmental Health Practitioners to join our busy professional Trading Standards and Environmental Compliance team.

It is an exciting time to be working in Solihull. Our central location means there is a lot to be involved in, such as preparing for the arrival of High-Speed 2 and plans for commercial and residential developments within the borough including at Birmingham Airport, the National Exhibition Centre and the Arden Cross development.

As an Environmental Health Practitioner, we are offering a unique opportunity to work across our socially and economically diverse Borough, delivering the full range of regulatory duties through a wide range of Environmental Health issues: from housing to nuisance, houses in multiple occupation (H.M.O.s) to environmental crime.

We pride ourselves on being a Council that is small enough to care, but big enough to make a difference. To help achieve this we work closely with a range of agencies from public, private and community/voluntary sectors to improve the lives of the people we serve.

To be successful in this role you will hold a relevant Environmental Health qualification and have experience in providing advice and guidance on regulatory and enforcement issues as well as proven knowledge of legal processes and effective evidence gathering.

Knowledge and experience in the field of nuisance would be an advantage.

We know that our employees want to do more than just work, and so we encourage good work-life balance by offering a range of flexible working options; this is further supplemented by an extensive wellbeing offer, as well as a range of other benefits including staff discounts and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

We have implemented a hybrid working model which involves a balance between home working and time in the office. This role is based in Solihull Town Centre and there will be occasions when you will be required to work and attend meetings within the borough or at other locations across the West Midlands region.

Whilst this post is offered on a full-time basis, applications for part time or job share working would be welcomed.
