- You will attend Crown/Magistrates’ Court hearings to give evidence as a witness in connection with licensing prosecutions and appeals.
- You will plan and organise projects and cases to achieve defined council policy outcomes in accordance with agreed standards and timescales.
- You will keep informed of all appropriate best practice, legislation and central government policies and undertake internal and external training where necessary, keeping up to date with changes in legislation and to implement those which will affect the service.
- As and when appropriate you will give some technical advice and guidance to service team members.

**What we need from you**:
***
- You must have relevant practical experience of licensing and/or other regulatory services enforcement backed by evidence of appropriate specialist knowledge of licensing and other regulatory related issues.
- You will be able to self-manage and determine your own priorities in dealing with competing workloads.
- You must have excellent verbal and written communication skills to build relationships and engage successfully with community groups and partner organisations.

The post will be predominantly working at premises and locations in South Gloucestershire. Smarter working technology allows to also work at all council offices and from home.
