We are seeking a qualified and suitably experienced Environmental Health Officer to help deliver environmental health services to the people and businesses of Orkney.
Reporting directly to the Service Manager you will have responsibility for a busy and varied caseload of environmental health work throughout Orkney. Working in a small team you will plan and undertake your own investigations, inspections and visits along with taking the necessary actions to provide advice, guidance and support to ensure compliance with the law and that risks to health are appropriately managed.
Good working knowledge of environmental health legislation is required along with the confidence to manage your own casework and conflicting demands with limited management supervision. Some work out of hours may be necessary, as will be the ability to travel throughout Orkney. You must be eligible to work as an EHO in Scotland and membership of REHIS or equivalent is essential.
This is a career graded post and starting salary will be dependent upon qualifications and relevant experience.
We would be particularly pleased to receive applications from EHOs having specific interest and skills in private sector housing and environmental protection. An additional qualification in acoustics and noise control would be advantageous but not essential. You will need to demonstrate a commitment to quality service delivery and self-improvement by undertaking a scheme of relevant continuous professional development and be willing to help out with all aspects of environmental health work within our small team.
A current UK driving licence is essential.
This post is subject to a Level 1 Disclosure check.
Orkney is regularly voted as one of the best places to live in the UK and if you are looking to combine your enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise in environmental health with an excellent quality of life, then we would love to hear from you.
Prospective applicants are invited to discuss the post by contacting Nick Long, Service Manager (Environmental Health), E-mail nick.long@orkney.gov.uk or telephone 01856 873535.
Closing date: 23:59 on Sunday 29 June 2025
Please note that interview and relocation expenses will be paid for this post, in accordance with Council Policy.
