Northampton, United Kingdom West Northamptonshire Council Full time

About the role
West Northamptonshire Council has created a new team focused on developing and delivering innovative flood and water drainage solutions. The team is led by the Flood and Water Team Manager, reporting to the Head of Works within the PLACE directorate of the Council.

The team will act as the Council’s Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) providing professional support and advice on flood and water management and be instrumental in developing its approach to the forthcoming changes to the Flood and Water Management Act 2010.

What will you be doing?
The purpose of this post is to provide technical support to the Flood and Water Management Team, to aid the Council in meeting its regulatory requirements in relation to flood risk, in particular its role as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), as provided by the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 (FWMA), the Flood Risk Regulations 2009 and related regulations and guidance.

Whilst the role will be supporting all areas of the team, the main focuses will be on providing responses to enquiries, particularly from those affected by flooding, and on data management, essential to the effective delivery of this technical service.

About you

The team will be supported to think outside of the box and be provided with modern resources which they can use to create innovative solutions.
