Job Overview

Royal Borough of Kingston is seeking an experienced Environmental Health Officer / Technical Officer to join its residential team, working across a shared service covering Kingston and Sutton. The role sits within Regulatory Services and focuses on residential environmental health, compliance and enforcement work.

This is a varied post where a typical caseload may include housing standards, public health issues, noise or environmental nuisance, HMO licensing, drainage defects, rubbish accumulation, damp and mould, filthy and verminous premises, hoarding and severe disrepair.

The successful candidate will manage inspections, review evidence, decide on appropriate regulatory action and support enforcement activity, including preparing case files and acting as an expert witness where required.

Important – Please Read Carefully

This role requires direct experience in Environmental Health, private sector housing, housing standards, licensing or a similar regulatory enforcement role.

You must have experience carrying out property inspections, assessing housing conditions and taking or supporting enforcement action.

Candidates without relevant Environmental Health / housing standards experience are unlikely to be considered.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a personal caseload of residential environmental health and housing standards cases
  • Carry out inspections of residential premises including HMOs and single-family dwellings
  • Investigate complaints relating to housing conditions, drainage, rubbish accumulation, damp and mould
  • Prioritise and manage high-risk cases including hoarding, filthy and verminous premises and severe disrepair
  • Review evidence gathered during inspections and determine the appropriate regulatory response
  • Serve statutory notices and orders under relevant legislation, including the Housing Act 2004 and Environmental Protection Act 1990
  • Support enforcement action and judicial proceedings, including preparing prosecution files
  • Act as an expert witness in court or tribunal where required
  • Use specialist equipment where needed, for example to support noise nuisance or damp investigations
  • Work with partner agencies including the Fire Brigade and Social Services on complex or vulnerable cases
  • Contribute to team working across Kingston and Sutton and support wider regulatory service delivery.

Essential Experience & Skills

  • Appropriate qualification in Environmental Health, Trading Standards or an equivalent relevant discipline
  • Experience in one or more recognised specialist areas of Environmental Health, including private sector housing and licensing
  • Experience in a local authority or other public sector regulatory / compliance setting
  • Experience carrying out property inspections and investigating housing-related complaints
  • Experience assessing evidence and supporting or taking enforcement action
  • Strong report writing and written communication skills
  • Ability to manage a varied caseload and prioritise risk effectively
  • Good communication skills and ability to work with residents, landlords, agencies and internal teams
  • Flexible and adaptable approach to changing service demands.

Desirable

  • Membership of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health or other relevant professional body
  • Specialist qualification in one or more relevant service areas
  • Experience in HMO licensing, nuisance, housing enforcement or environmental protection.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
