About the Role
Sunderland City Council is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and hardworking Regulatory Compliance Officer to work in the Public Protection Team of our Regulatory Services Department.
Responsibilities
The Public Protection team performs a vital role responding to resident and partner reports about community impact nuisances like waste accumulations, defective drainage, rodent infestations and derelict land and property, engaging with residents, landlords and partners to solve problems, and where required, serving legal notices and undertaking works in default and other formal enforcement actions, such as issuing fixed penalty notices or taking prosecutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The team also manages the Councils allotments, which requires both a regulatory skillset and project management skills, placing and removing tenants, organising repairs, fencing and construction works, road surfacing and waste removal to improve and bring plots back into use across the city.
Requirements
The successful applicant will have a positive can do attitude and demonstrable relevant experience and skills. They will have the interpersonal skills and confidence needed for successful proactive engagement with residents, Councillors, local businesses and partner agencies and able to work on their own initiative as well as part of a team.
Previous experience of nuisance enforcement is advantageous but not essential.
Working Pattern
Normal working week Monday to Friday, with occasional working required outside normal hours.
