The role also includes identifying unlicensed HMOs, issuing civil penalties or prosecutions, preparing professional reports, and supporting junior officers through supervision and mentoring. Essential requirements: A Diploma or Degree in Environmental Health. EHORB Registered. A committed attitude to improving housing standards and protecting tenants. Demonstrated ability to write clear, concise reports and use your initiative to work effectively without constant supervision.
