Wolverhampton, United Kingdom City of Wolverhampton Council Full time

Job Introduction
Licensing Officer

**Salary - £24,294 - £25,979 (Grade 4)**

**Hours - 37**

**Contract type - full time permanent**

Do you want to help protect the public, defend the reputation of an industry and restore the country’s public transport infrastructure?

The post we are advertising for is for a Permanant Licensing Officer role working within our Private Hire/Hackney Carriage Driver administration teams.

The role will undertake the administering of Driver Licences in-line with current legislation. The process will involve the receipt/checking and issuing of Licences for City of Wolverhampton. Attention to detail is paramount to ensure the correct licence is issued and all required checks have been performed.

Enhanced DBS Certificates are an integral part of the Licensing Regime and the management of the DBS Subscription is important to ensure upto date information is obtained for all our licensed drivers.

Our Council licences more drivers than any other in the country and these drivers require safe compliant vehicles. We are at the forefront of licensing, using state-of-the-art technology to ensure public safety through checks on drivers, vehicles and operators.

You will be helping to stop dangerous vehicles being issued a licence, to keep our roads safe. As such, we’re looking for people who are good with personnel skills/customer service and have excellent attention to detail.

If you’re interested in a career in licensing, this role is the perfect place to start. We work in modern ways and there are some roles that enable partial remote working - this specific role is office based with no remote working. No prior knowledge of licensing is necessary (although it helps) as all training will be provided. There are several progression routes for you to take; either becoming a senior officer before entering management, or joining our compliance team to lead on investigations.

Support is available along the way, with guaranteed professional conversations each quarter to help your development.

Whatever your interests, we can guarantee that no two days are the same and that you’ll be making a valuable contribution to your local community by protecting the public from people who should not be transporting fare-paying passengers around.

In addition, you’ll be able to access our internal job vacancies. We have no issue with attracting talented employees for them to progress elsewhere within the organisation - we want the best people in the city working at the Council Permanent positions are regularly advertised for this role and others.

Pay for a licensing officer is £12.59 per hour.

Our full-time positions are 37 hours per week.

You can benefit from Corporate Membership at WV Active, the Council’s leisure facilities which offer gym facilities, exercise classes, swimming, a sauna, steam room and more.

You can access free, confidential and independent support 24/7 through Care First, the Council’s Employee Assistance Programme.

Free eye tests are available for all roles involving regular visual display equipment.
