You will be expected to lead on complex investigations and provide guidance and mentoring to develop the team. You will also have opportunity to present cases in the Magistrates’ court.
North Yorkshire Council supports staff through membership of CTSI which will allow you access to the CPPD scheme.
What we Offer
We are a strong performing authority, with supportive political leadership and talented teams providing the platform to have a fulfilling, challenging and successful career in a truly stunning place.
