Overview
We’re looking for an experienced Environmental Health Officer (EHO) to provide night-time nuisance cover for a Council in Essex on a 4-month contract. Working Monday to Friday, 6pm–8am, you’ll respond to reports of dust nuisance, carry out on-site investigations, gather evidence, and take enforcement action where needed. You’ll also complete full prosecution files and may need to give evidence in court. There’s likely to be some routine monitoring in a set area, but you’ll be paid for every hour on call, not just when called out.
Responsibilities
* Respond to dust nuisance reports during night shifts (6pm–8am).
* Carry out on-site investigations, gather evidence, and prepare prosecution files.
* Take enforcement action for statutory nuisances and provide evidence in court when required.
* Work safely during night hours, sometimes paired with another officer for support.
Qualifications
* Solid experience in statutory nuisance investigations, especially around dust and air quality.
* Confident handling of enforcement actions, legal processes, and prosecution file preparation.
* Mobile and local (or nearby) to ensure quick response times.
* Competent to visit, collect evidence, and complete prosecution files for statutory nuisances.
Benefits
* £55 per hour, paid across the full shift from 6pm–8am.
* Great opportunity to support a proactive Essex council in tackling environmental nuisance head‑on.
