Broxtowe Borough Council located in Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands is currently offering a variety of positions to strengthen existing teams.

Broxtowe is a mixed urban/rural Borough set in the attractive county of Nottinghamshire. It is ideally situated with a wide variety of sporting and shopping facilities locally and is in easy reach of Sherwood Forest and the Peak District National Park. The administrative centre of Beeston is four miles from Nottingham City Centre and borders Nottingham University.

We support training and development of all our officers, and will pay for your annual membership of the CIEH, encouraging chartered membership.

We are looking for enthusiastic, well-motivated individuals who have a passion to deliver exceptional service for all residents of the Borough. Working as part of an experienced, tight-knit team you will inspect, enforce and advise on a wide range of environmental health disciplines including food safety, health and safety, public health, communicable disease control and assorted licensing duties – animal activities, massage/special treatments and skin piercing.

You must have current practical experience of food safety enforcement, the food hygiene rating scheme, health and safety enforcement and the use of all appropriate interventions to secure compliance. You must be able to demonstrate competency to deliver the full range of ‘Official Controls’ as detailed in the Food Standards Agency’s Food Law Code of Practice. Recent experience in the licensing of animal activities and the licensing and registration of skin piercing/skin colouring and other special treatments would be an advantage, although development in these work areas will be facilitated.
