• Act as a technical expert in housing legislation
• Use data and insight to improve performance and outcomes
• Lead on shaping policy, procedures, systems and service improvements
• Support delivery of new powers under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025

• Environmental Health qualifications and experience in the regulation of the Private Rented Sector.
• Management or supervisory experience
• A strong track record in enforcement and complex casework
• Excellent knowledge of key housing legislation
• The ability to lead teams, make decisions and drive results
• Strong communication skills and a resident-focused mindset

Why Join Us?
