Full Description
Our client in the South West are seeking an experienced Environmental Health Officer (EHO) to support our client’s Private Sector Housing team on a three-month contract. In this role, you will investigate a range of private sector housing complaints, progress part-completed cases, and serve statutory notices under the Housing Act, Electrical Safety Regulations, and MEES Regulations.
You will also process HMO licence applications and conduct HMO compliance inspections, ensuring properties meet required standards and residents are protected.
Our client is looking for an EHORB-registered EHO with strong, hands-on experience in the private rented sector. You’ll be joining a team currently operating with reduced staffing due to sickness and a delayed start date for a newly appointed PEHO. The two PSH officers on the team are more junior and will require some support, so confidence in independent case management and enforcement work is essential. The successful candidate will need to attend the office and carry out district visits 2–3 days per week, depending on working pattern.
In return, the client offers flexibility with part-time or full-time hours, with a minimum commitment of three days per week. Budget is fully approved, and they are ready to onboard someone as soon as possible. You will be offered £45PH in an initial contract. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced EHO to make an immediate impact within a supportive team environment.
