Set in the beautiful county of Staffordshire, Tamworth is a vibrant town with rich heritage. Located in the centre of Britain, with a growing population of over 77,000 people, Tamworth is a borough with much to be proud of. Our transport links, unique shopping experience, developing town centre, green spaces, leisure offer, including our cultural and wide-ranging outdoor events programme, as well as our heritage buildings, all help make it a great place to live, work, study, and visit.

In addition to all that Tamworth already has to offer, exciting times are ahead as we embark on a period of significant transformation. Multi-million-pound projects, such as the Future High Street Fund development will help to bring about lasting change and improvements in the future. This will assist with our mission to restore Tamworth town centre as the beating heart of the community, a place that people want to visit, rather than a place they have to visit.

This will include carrying out investigations into empty, privately owned properties and negotiating with their owners to bring them back into use using appropriate enforcement action including enforced sales, CPO’s and EDMO’s, using a range of initiatives through both voluntary and enforcement action to achieve the desired results.

The person we are looking for will:
⦁ Be proactive in the role and have excellent communication skills.

⦁ Have experience in empty homes and in carrying out investigations to source suitable solutions in bringing properties back into use.

⦁ Be knowledgeable in legislation, policy, guidance, codes of practice, standards etc. relating to a range of legislative areas, keeping appraised of technical/scientific knowledge along with experience undertaking inspections, surveys and other investigations of properties under the Housing Act 2004 and other related legislation, as directed, along with attending court where necessary to attain legal orders for access to properties, and serve relevant notices.

⦁ Hold a certificate of competency in performing HHSRS assessments and hazard identification

⦁ Provide specialist advice in relation to Empty Homes and aid the wider economic development of Tamworth.

A valid driving licence is essential as you will be required to visit empty properties in the local area.

This is a hybrid working contract, there is a requirement for some of duties to be carried out at home and some on site. Site attendance will constitute more than 40% of available working time.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Lisa Hall, Safer Community and Homes Manager, on 07580 591365
