About the Role
The Public Health Team within Regulatory Services is seeking an Environmental Protection Officer to join our frontline service. This role is key to protecting Enfield’s streets and public spaces by investigating complaints of domestic and commercial nuisances, filthy and verminous premises, waste on private land, and defective drainage. There will be opportunities to gain experience in air quality, contaminated land, and permitted premises.
This is a varied and active role where you will spend much of your week out on district, investigating complaints, gathering evidence, and taking enforcement action where appropriate.

Why Join Us?
This is an excellent opportunity to play a vital role in tackling environmental pollution and protecting the quality of life in Enfield. You will gain experience in a wide range of enforcement activities, supported by a dedicated team committed to keeping the borough safe, clean, and welcoming.
We encourage a culture that puts our customers at the heart of everything we do by empowering our people to work together to find solutions, be open, honest and respectful, take responsibility, and listen and learn. Flexible working arrangements are available.

Experience
Experience of working within a local authority environmental protection or pollution team is desirable but not essential. Existing Technical Officers or Environmental Health Officers, newly qualified candidates, or those wishing to complete their training to be registered with the CIEH are welcome to apply. Candidates with enforcement experience and a proactive "can do" attitude eager to develop within environmental protection will also be considered.
Training will be provided to suitable candidates with relevant enforcement backgrounds.

About you
You will be a motivated and proactive officer with strong investigative and enforcement skills. You must have strong communication and organisational skills with attention to detail in case management. You should be willing to work independently across the borough as part of your day-to-day duties.
A full UK driving licence (or alternative transport) is essential as the role requires travel across Enfield.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications or registration with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) are desirable but not essential. A commitment to professional development and training will be supported.
