Principal Officer, Housing Standards
2 weeks ago
Job description
**Department: PLACE - Environment & Operations**
**Terms & Conditions: Full Time, 37 hours per week, Permanent.**
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is a busy unitary authority in East Lancashire. Blackburn and Darwen are vibrant towns surrounded by beautiful countryside and within easy reach of Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Preston, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
The Council has been a unitary authority for over 20 years and has a multi-disciplinary Public Protection and Environmental Health Service which is known for its can-do attitude and problem solving approach to enforcement.
We have a rare and exciting opportunity for a highly organised and enthusiastic Principal Officer to lead our friendly and supportive Housing Standards team.
Reporting to the Service Lead, Public Protection & Environmental Health, you will lead in providing an effective and innovative housing standards enforcement service, as well as working with partners to identify and declare appropriate selective licensing area(s).
We have a high percentage of properties built pre1919 with many of them privately rented, so this role is key to ensuring that the Borough’s tenants are protected. The role covers the management of the full range of housing enforcement work, including investigations, the HMO inspection regime, and potentially managing selective licensing enforcement.
If you’d like further information about the role, please contact Gary Johnston on 01254 585585 for an informal conversation.
**Please note that your CV and your supporting statement must outline how you meet the key requirements.**
**Please note that the listing may be closed before the closing date should sufficient applicants have been received.**
