These services and schemes offer an opportunity to work in a busy high-profile environment dealing with the inspection and enforcement of all private rented homes.
If you are motivated, professional in your approach and have adept organisational skills then Coventry could be the place for you!

Some of the tasks involved are:

• Inputting data onto software and updating records
• Maintenance of project data, running reports and supplying information to government.
• Providing advice to landlords and tenants
