THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE POWER OF EMPOWERMENT. Environmental Health at Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where passionate and expert professionals go above and beyond for their communities every day. The Role:
As Senior Environmental Health Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to ensuring everyone in Westminster can thrive in a clean, safe and quiet city. You’ll play a vital role in helping junior colleagues to develop their careers. As well as taking the lead on your own complex cases, you’ll mentor and support junior officers, using your own cases as live training opportunities. In this role, you’ll draw on all your specialist technical skills and knowledge to champion health and wellbeing across a range of high profile cases, while guiding and supporting newer officers. We’ll look to you to develop, implement and enforce environmental health policies and legislation in various ways – from inspections and engagement, through to education and enforcement. You’ll also support the Principal Officer in developing and delivering training and quality monitoring systems and get involved in projects for process and service improvements. To join us, you’ll need relevant qualifications plus a proven track record of post-qualification experience. You are used to managing cases and handling complex, high profile and political environmental health complaints, both in person and in writing. You’ve honed excellent communication, relationship building and conflict management skills by working with a range of agencies and professionals, and with diverse members of the public. You take pride in your ability to provide exceptional customer service and deliver real improvements to public health through education, influencing and appropriate intervention. Keen to share your passion and experience with new officers and apprentices, you’ll thrive in our team. What We Offer:
