Norfolk County Council as Local Lead Flood Authority (LLFA) is seeking to recruit an Assistant Flood Risk Officer to provide support to the existing Flood and Water Team to meet its responsibilities under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. It is expected that the majority of your work will be focusing on assisting in the production of flood investigation reports and the delivery of flood mitigation projects to protect people, property and infrastructure. Your role will also include carrying out site visits, assisting with surveys and managing a case load of ordinary watercourse enquiries. This varied role would suit a proactive individual who is confident managing their own workload to meet strict deadlines. An ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with a wide range of stakeholders is essential. You may have previously worked in a related field (engineering/hydrology/environment). This is not essential, but we are looking for someone with experience of using GIS systems, and ideally experience of reviewing technical documents/reports/plans.

For an informal discussion regarding the role please call and ask for Sarah Sims.

These are some benefits you can enjoy by working for Norfolk County Council:

  • Competitive salary

  • Generous holiday entitlement

  • Health and Wellbeing services including fast-track physiotherapy and a free counselling service

  • Flexible working opportunities including flexi-time, part time, remote and hybrid working – dependent on your job role and business need.

  • ' Norfolk Rewards' our employee discounts programme which helps you save money on almost anything, from everyday groceries and clothes, to holidays, new technology, gym membership, trips to the cinema and days out.

  • A Blue Light card for Fire Service and Social Care Workers

  • Relocation expenses (where applicable)

  • An advance of your expenses if you travel for work

  • Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution, life assurance, death in service payments and dependants' pensions

  • Tax efficient ways of getting extra pension and new bikes

  • Access to our tax efficient car lease scheme for greener travel enabling you to lease a brand new, ultra-low emission vehicle (subject to eligibility)

  • A payment if you refer someone you know to a hard to fill job
