Summary
About us There is an exciting opportunity to join Salford City Councils expanding Regulatory Services team. Regulatory Services cover Private Sector Housing, Environmental Protection, Trading Standards and Environmental Health. The position available is full time fixed term for 18 month working within Private Sector Housing primarily.
The areas of work covered by private sector housing include landlord licensing, housing standards, housing compliance and enforcement, empty properties and home improvement assistance. The private sector housing role will focus initially on dealing with disrepair complaints relating to private rented, empty and owner-occupied properties. The role will also include wider delivery of private sector housing functions across the City in addressing poor housing conditions.
About the Role The successful candidates will work in an established enforcement team who implement and enforce predominately the Housing Act 2004. You must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the Housing Act 2004 and its application as well as other relevant legislation. An awareness of the Renters Right Bill and its provisions would be advantageous. A competency in HHSRS is required, with qualification desirable.
Duties will include consulting and liaising, including face to face meetings with landlords, owners and residents, inspecting properties using the Housing and Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), and progressing cases where a property owner is found to be non-compliant including taking appropriate enforcement action, as required for the relevant work stream.
You will be expected to adopt a flexible and problem-solving approach to work to deliver quick and sustainable resolutions to identified housing problems across the city, irrespective of tenure, to support local communities. You will manage a caseload of complaints that will require further investigation including on-site visits, engagement/enforcement, and joint working with other partner agencies.
What we need from you Candidates will need to demonstrate that they have a non-discriminatory, investigatory mind-set with the ability to think outside of the box, have relevant experience of case management processes and a commitment to working in partnerships in a multi-agency environment. If you have the drive and commitment to bring about improvements in the quality of housing and life for the people in Salford, we look forward to hearing from you.
