JOB DESCRIPTION

Are you a dedicated Environmental Health Professional? Do you have an extensive knowledge and experience of private sector housing and/or environmental protection? Do you have a passion for developing and inspiring individuals in the team, supporting their professional development as well as continue the spirit and ethos of an established team who celebrate their successes together? If so, and you are a Principal EHO looking for a new challenge or a Senior EHO looking for the next step in their career, this could be the opportunity for you.
South Cambridgeshire District Council is an ambitious Council with an exciting green agenda for the future. We want to improve the quality of life for our residents, develop sustainable communities, and drive economic growth and prosperity. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we’re committed to doing even better in the future as we seek other authorities to emulate our success.

This role covers a number of disciplines such as statutory nuisance, private sector housing, and animal welfare. The post holder will take a lead role in delivering and developing these essential services, alongside dedicated officers specialising in these fields, and established procedures developed to maximise the resources available to the team.
We believe we are in a great position to continue to develop these services and hope to go a step further, having highlighted anti-social behaviour, raising energy standards in rented homes, tackling empty properties and as well as promoting and showcasing our work both locally as well as nationally.
