Senior Trading Standards Officer (Training and Development)

The Senior Trading Standards Officer (Training and Development) will have split responsibilities between two main work areas; developing and delivering a training plan for the service which applies to all Trading Standards staff and supporting other areas of the service with the delivery of operational work.
Trading Standards Officers are required to reach a high level of knowledge and experience in order to carry out enforcement activities in specialist technical subjects. The service requires a coordinated approach to ensure that all officers achieve and maintain their competence across a broad range of highly specialised areas. The role will provide general training support to our Trading Standards Officers and will have direct line management responsibilities for any new junior officers to support and guide them through their initial development, including any apprenticeships.
In addition to the training coordination and support, you will also provide a flexible support resource across a range of legislative areas. You will undertake inspections and sampling, provide advice, investigate complaints, and where necessary take appropriate enforcement action to proactively protect consumers by ensuring a fair and safe trading environment in Hampshire.

This is a challenging and varied role for a highly motivated, proactive individual with a strong work ethic and flexible approach. You will have a strong skillset in understanding complex requirements and be able to present information clearly to a wide audience. You will have experience of working successfully within multi-disciplinary project teams and/or a matrix working environment. As a highly organised individual you can effectively prioritise and manage competing workloads, and consistently meet pressing deadlines.
