Full Description

Here's your chance to lead from the front in a Private Sector Housing service that's genuinely on the move.

A South London Local Authority has just greenlit bold new property licensing schemes — expanding selective and HMO licensing borough-wide, backed by tougher inspections and zero tolerance for rogue landlords.

As Team Leader, you'll be right at the heart of it: driving operational delivery and leading a sharp team of Environmental Health Officers across HMO licensing, HHSRS, disrepair, and enforcement. High-profile cases, real influence, and a team that looks to you for guidance — this is leadership with genuine teeth.

We want an experienced Environmental Health practitioner who knows private sector housing enforcement inside out and applies HHSRS with confidence, with a proven track record leading teams in a local authority setting. You'll bring sound judgement, strong command of housing legislation and HMO licensing, and the presence to represent the service in court or committee.

This is a rare chance to shape a service at a genuinely pivotal moment

Rate: £435–£485 per day (umbrella)
