You will work to ensure the continuing successful delivery of the Licensing service to our customers and communities, building upon recent changes and incorporating new government policies and legislation into the service area.

We would welcome applications from an experienced Licensing Officer with a breadth of licencing knowledge, who can work unaided on a wide range of licensing matters, ensuring compliance with our procedures, legislation and best practice.

About you:

You constantly look for better ways of doing things, for how things can be improved - approaching things in original and ingenious ways and striving to come up with new and different methods and applications. People like dealing with you because you make things easy for them to understand and naturally create the conditions for them to grow and develop. You make connections between people, instinctively making links and introductions. Highly self-motivated, you push yourself to achieve what you want out of life and are always looking for ways to grow and develop, whatever you are doing.

You should have proven supervisory and leadership experience including the motivation, development and management of individuals and teams.
