We have an exciting opportunity to recruit to an Environmental Health Officer post within the Citizen and Consumer Protection Business and Consumer Team which includes Environmental Health, Trading Standards, Events and General Licensing. It is an exciting time to join Sandwell Council’s Environmental Health Team; we are in the process of undertaking a forward-thinking review of our services to ensure that we are a team fit for the future.
About you
We are looking for a chartered or EHRB registered Environmental Health Officer with experience in food safety and health & safety to join us as an Environmental Health Officer. You will help shape the direction of our team, use your specialist knowledge and experience to provide regulation and support to businesses, and assist the Team Manager to meet Sandwell’s Vision.
Applications from professionals with equivalent qualifications to meet the Food Standards Agency competency requirements and relevant experience are also welcome. We also welcome applications from graduates who have recently successfully completed their Environmental Health course.
You will need to have a minimum of 12 months experience within Food Safety and Health and Safety, be open to new challenges, have excellent communication skills, be professional and an exemplar for Sandwell MBC and the Environmental Health profession.
The role
You will be responsible for undertaking food hygiene inspections from retailers and caterers up to large manufacturers and approved premises,
investigating food and health & safety complaints,
managing your own caseload,
undertaking accident investigations and dealing with infectious disease notifications and outbreaks.
The team have also recently started undertaking food standards inspections at retailer and catering premises and you will be expected to work towards developing your competency in this area. Further training will be provided as needed.
The team
The wider Environmental Health team is a busy, friendly, and professional team. There are two teams within Environmental Health, one team covers Food Safety, Health and Safety, Infectious Diseases, and the other team covers Industrial and Commercial Nuisance & Waste and Animal Welfare. Whilst this role is based within the Food Safety and Health and Safety team, there is the opportunity to develop your skills and experience across disciplines, and this is supported and encouraged.
We are also keen to provide our officers with opportunities for further development, and we support officers with further training and ensuring they can meet Continuous Professional Development.
