Barnsley Council is a place of ambition, transformation and opportunity, and we are looking for a motivated and organised Building Safety Levy Officer to join our Building Control team at an exciting time of change within the construction and regulatory sector.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in delivering the new Building Safety Levy, supporting the implementation of important national legislation designed to improve building safety and ensure sustainable funding arrangements for future remediation work.

As Building Safety Levy Officer, you will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Building Safety Levy system, ensuring compliance with the Building Safety Levy Regulations 2025 and reporting requirements set by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). You will oversee the levy process from start to finish, including assessing liability, issuing statutory notices, processing payments and refunds, maintaining accurate records, and supporting the submission of management information and financial returns.

This is a varied role that combines administration, financial processes, customer service and regulatory compliance. You will work closely with developers, colleagues and external partners, providing advice and guidance on levy requirements while helping to ensure the Council meets its statutory obligations.

You will also support wider Building Control activities by monitoring application progress and helping ensure statutory performance targets and timescales are met.

Working for Barnsley Council means being part of a forward-thinking organisation that is committed to delivering excellent services for residents, businesses and communities. We offer a supportive and inclusive working environment where your contribution will be recognised and valued. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills, build your knowledge of an evolving area of regulation and play an important role in shaping the successful delivery of a new national initiative.

We are looking for someone with strong organisational skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage and interpret information accurately. Experience of administration, financial processes and customer service is essential, while knowledge of planning, building control or regulatory environments would be advantageous.

If you are looking for an opportunity to develop your career within a professional and supportive team, while contributing to a high-profile area of local government, we would love to hear from you.

Join us and help deliver the future of building safety in Barnsley.
