York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

Are you looking for a new opportunity and a chance to join a thriving and expanding team working for City of York Council? Do you have experience of, and a passion for, law enforcement and a desire to improve housing standards and the lives of people? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Working within the Healthy and Sustainable Homes team, you will be responsible for the enforcement of legislation relating to the improvement of housing conditions in York.

The role is varied and will include
- Carrying out comprehensive inspections identifying health and safety issues and poor management practises in Houses in Multiple Occupation
- Deciding appropriate courses of action in relation to infringements, including the service of notices
- Developing, delivering and co-ordinating presentations, briefings and training to HMO License Holders, partners, stakeholders and other audiences.

For the role you will need
- a “can do” attitude to challenging problems and situations, and the ability to react at pace.
- an ability to write complex technical reports in easy-to-understand language
- excellent customer, communication, and interpersonal skills
- good IT skills including use of databases
- an understanding of the opportunities and challenges in creating healthy and sustainable homes across all tenures.

You will also need to be a team player with an ability to work across council departments, with other agencies, business, and the public.

You will need to communicate sometimes complex messages in easy-to-understand language so you will need excellent written and spoken English.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition, we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards, and savings.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

Closing date: Sunday 16 April 2023 at 12 midnight
