Job Introduction

We are seeking a motivated and committed Environmental Health Officer to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity to work in a service that plays a vital role in protecting public health and ensuring high standards across the borough.

What we offer:

• A supportive environment where professional development is encouraged

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; therefore, the post is subject to medical clearance and a DBS check.
