Are you looking for your next role? How about Regulatory Services?
Regulatory Services is where legislation meets the real world. We are out across the city every day, in various locations such as; restaurants and retail units, private rented homes, festivals and events, licensed premises and on the roadside, ensuring standards are met and risks are properly managed. We investigate complaints, carry out inspections, gather evidence and, where necessary, use our statutory powers to protect the public. It is visible work. It is practical. And it makes a tangible difference.
Our service brings together specialist teams in Licensing, Food and Public Safety, Noise, Pollution and Area Environmental Health, Taxi Vehicle Testing, Trading Standards, Housing Standards and HMO Licensing, and Selective Licensing. Together we protect health, improve housing conditions, regulate licensed activity, respond to environmental concerns and support responsible businesses to thrive. The work ranges from advisory visits and compliance checks through to formal enforcement action and preparing and attending cases for court or hearings.
Regulatory Compliance Officers lead detailed inspections and build evidence based cases that stand up to scrutiny, ensuring businesses and landlords meet their statutory obligations.
Regulatory Officers manage applications, undertake inspections and make informed decisions that balance support with proportionate enforcement.
