Full Job Description

We are seeking qualified Environmental Health Officers to join our Private Sector Housing Team and contribute in protecting the quality of life of our residents. This is an exciting time to join the team, as we have just introduced an additional licensing and with further selective licensing schemes planned. This recognizes the importance of good housing and the key role the private sector landlords play in this, to help build thriving communities.

We seek the best talent from the widest pool of people as diversity and inclusion is the key to our success. Reading Borough Council is a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to the recruitment and continued employment of people with disabilities.

We support hybrid working, it's important to us that working arrangements are designed to enable our employees to excel and within this role you'll have the opportunity to work in a way that suits your lifestyle.

About the role:

The roles focus on licensing of houses in multiple occupation and enforcing legislation on property conditions. You will be inspecting properties identifying defects and potential breaches of legislation, advising landlords on requirements and taking enforcement action where necessary.

Experience in dealing with tall building fire safety and/or licensing of houses in multiple occupation and discretionary licensing schemes is desirable.

You will be based at our offices in the centre of Reading but will spend significant time out of the office on inspections and there is flexibility to work from home, subject to the needs of the service.

Private Sector Housing - As an urban area we are challenged a high proportion of rented properties including licensable house in multiple occupation (hmos), many of which are in poor condition.
