About the Role
As a Trading Standards Officer, you will be responding to service requests and undertaking investigations into breaches and alleged offences under Trading Standards law. Being an operational officer, you will be able to undertake inspections of premises and take part in team projects and events as well as providing witness statements and attending court as required.

About Us
Although we are a small team that operate across the borough of Kingston & Sutton, we punch above our weight and do not shy away from taking formal enforcement action where necessary. We have good working relationships with our local Police services and also partners in third sector agencies such as NHW and Age UK. We work hard to engage with our communities and benefit from the work we do, to up-skill businesses and our consumers. We are problem solvers not afraid to use alternative legislation to resolve long standing consumer issues!

We operate a hybrid working pattern that is especially suitable to those that have caring responsibilities and this position would also be suitable to those deciding to return to work after a break away from the profession or returning part time. You will be joining a supportive and flexible team of professionals and you will be encouraged to develop your skills and maintain your professional CPD.
