Park Avenue are working with a Central London Borough who are looking to appoint an experienced Housing Standards Officer to support their Selective Licensing team on an initial 6-month contract.

The Council are looking for someone who is confident carrying out property inspections independently and can support the team with housing standards and licensing work from day one.

You'll be working across a varied Housing Standards caseload, including:

• Taking appropriate enforcement action where required
• Maintaining accurate case records and progressing cases through to resolution

To be considered, you will need to be HHSRS qualified and have previous experience carrying out housing standards inspections within a Local Authority or similar regulatory environment.

Experience within Private Sector Housing, Selective Licensing and Housing Act 2004 enforcement would be particularly beneficial.

• Rate: £40-£50 per hour
• Hours: Full-time
• Location: Central London Borough
• Contract: Initial 6 months
• HHSRS qualification essential
• Site-based property inspections will form a key part of the role
