Based in our offices in the heart of Folkestone, you’ll have easy access to transport links including HS1, Folkestone’s regenerated town centre, the seafront and old town creative quarter, and our extraordinary and vibrant landscapes and communities.

You will need to have recent and relevant experience of working in a related enforcement or compliance field, have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be pro-active and able to operate on your own initiative, and have a key eye for detail. But above all else, if you’re as committed to the safety and success of our local communities as we are, then we want hear from you.
