If you want to be part of our award-winning council and contribute to our ongoing success, have the flexibility and drive to enable us to innovate, are committed to working as part of a team and striving to deliver exceptional service wherever you can, we would especially like to hear from you.

As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our local communities so that we can all work for a brighter future - together.

Brighter Future

Good quality homes can have positive impacts on people’s health - and conversely, poorly maintained homes can exacerbate poor physical and mental wellbeing. The Housing Standards team work across a diverse housing sector, but primarily with low-income households in private rented housing, to make sure people’s health isn’t made worse by poor quality housing.

We are recruiting 2 Housing Standards Officers to drive up standards across the rented sector, ensure compliance in how Houses in Multiple Occupation are managed, and tackle issues caused by empty homes.

To be successful in this role, you will bring your construction / housing enforcement knowledge and your negotiation and interpersonal skills to effectively manage all stakeholders in the enforcement process, including tenants, private landlords, registered providers of social housing, other accommodation providers, Fire Service, Police, and other Council departments.

The role will provide the opportunity to work on a diverse range of cases both in the office and on site in people's homes. You will need good organisational, report writing and IT skills and attention to detail.

You will work as part of a team of 6 Housing Standards Officers, 2 Assistant Housing Standards Officers, a Duty Assistant and a Team Leader, as well as colleagues in the wider Housing service who deliver adaptations, domestic retrofit, hoarding support, and housing options.

The team works on a hybrid basis; predominantly working from home but also working in our Crewe office at least one day per week. The Council will provide the appropriate IT equipment to enable this.

You will be asked to provide a satisfactory basic DBS check as part of the pre-employment checks.
