Principal EHO - Private Sector Housing - HybridReference: REQ0235Description: Stroud District Council are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated, experienced Private Sector Housing Officer to join the Environmental Health Service in a Principal role. If you have considerable experience in private sector housing enforcement work and disabled facilities grants, you could be just the person we need to join our busy Private Sector Housing Team. We are looking for an experienced officer who can confidently deal with a varied workload. You’ll take the lead dealing with disabled facilities grant applications from the initial enquiry, through to completion of works. You will liaise with the Occupational Therapist, appointed contractors, architects and others in order to ensure the client receives the required adaptation as quickly and efficiently as possible. The use of individual initiative and a creative approach to the challenges involved will be greatly encouraged. We are looking for a good team player with attention to detail and someone who can collaborate with others and mentor less experienced members of the team. There will be new challenges for the team ahead from the Renter Rights Act and you’ll contribute your experience and knowledge to help ensure the service is prepared. Whilst the focus is grant work, you must be able to respond to the needs of the private sector housing service and this may at time include private sector housing enforcement work including under new landlord legislation.
