Full Description

Our client is a Local Authority in South London. They have spent the last year tackling a high volume of enforcement cases, focusing on the more routine, less complex cases which has enabled them to significantly reduce their burden by 66%.

They now need a highly experienced Enforcement Officer who is capable of taking forward the more challenging investigations, including those involving interviews under caution and prosecution work.

The team comprises both experienced and junior officers, so if you have the ability to offer occasional guidance or management support this would be ideal, but it is not an essential requirement of the role.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record in managing cases cradle to grave and who is comfortable carrying out full-cycle enforcement investigations.

You will need to be prepared to spend 3 days per week on site or the office so you will need to be in the South London catchment area. You will need a fully insured vehicle for work purposes.

The contract has scope to run on for some time given the nature of the caseload.

We’d expect a pay rate of £45-50/hr (inside IR35). This may be negotiable.
