It is an exciting time within Private Sector Housing as there are many legal changes soon to be coming into force to help protect people who rent their homes from private landlords.
To help us in this, we are seeking two Apprentice Environmental Health Officers to undertake a 4-year Degree Apprenticeship at Wolverhampton University starting in September 2025 studying the Environmental Health Practitioner Apprenticeship, which is the first stage towards chartership in this interesting and varied career.
This is a rare opportunity to join our Private Sector Housing team on this funded degree program, learning a range of Housing and Environmental Health duties including:
* Technical and administrative support
* Housing and tenancy advice
* Delivering financial assistance programme for homeowners and private tenants
* Making sure that homes are safe to live in
* Checking the conditions of accommodation including houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and:
* Tackling rogue landlords, to name just a few.
Opportunity will also be provided to work within and gain valuable experience in each of the other disciplines of Environmental Health and Licensing functions at the Council.
The posts will make a real difference...
