Make a difference to the places where people live, work and thrive.

We are looking for a motivated, knowledgeable and proactive Band 7 Regulatory Compliance Officer to join our Regulatory Services team. You will play a key role in delivering effective regulatory services across noise and pollution control, statutory nuisance, and area environmental health, helping to create cleaner, safer and healthier communities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident practitioner who can combine sound technical knowledge with proportionate enforcement, excellent communication skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality public services.

The role will involve investigating complaints relating to noise, statutory nuisance and pollution, undertaking inspections and site visits, assessing risks, gathering evidence and determining appropriate regulatory interventions. You will provide advice and guidance to residents, businesses and other stakeholders, resolve complex cases and take proportionate enforcement action where required.

You will manage a varied caseload, prepare technical reports, maintain accurate investigation records and, where necessary, prepare evidence for formal enforcement proceedings and court. You will also work closely with colleagues, partner agencies and other council services to address environmental health concerns, minimise risks and improve local outcomes.

As a Band 7 officer, you will be expected to exercise professional judgement, work independently, prioritise competing demands and contribute to the effective delivery and continuous improvement of the service.

About you

You will have relevant experience in noise, pollution control and/or area environmental health with a sound understanding of environmental health legislation, investigation procedures and enforcement powers.

You will be confident in managing challenging situations, interpreting legislation, evaluating evidence and communicating complex issues clearly. Strong organisational skills, a commitment to excellent customer service and the ability to work collaboratively are essential.

A relevant environmental health qualification, professional registration and experience of preparing legal cases would be advantageous, depending on the requirements of the post.
