About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative, and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
We are seeking Registered Building Inspectors to play a vital role within our high-performing Planning & Building Standards service. You will contribute to delivering a modern, responsive, and customer-focused building control service, helping to ensure that development across Haringey is safe, compliant, and of high quality.
In this role, you will support the continued improvement of the borough’s built environment for residents and businesses, while also playing a key part in implementing the new national building safety regime. Building on our strong progress in this area, you will help embed best practice, drive innovation, and uphold our positive, collaborative culture.
