Job Introduction
SeniorLicensingOfficer
Are you an experienced licensing professional looking for your next challenge? We are seeking a Senior Licensing Officer to help lead the delivery of Northumberland County Council's licensing service.
Working within the Public Protection Licensing Team, you will supervise Licensing Officers and Licensing Assistants, ensuring the effective delivery of statutory licensing functions across the county. You will manage a varied workload which may include licensing applications, investigations, enforcement activity, committee work, partnership working with agencies such as Police and HMRC, and supporting the development of service improvements.
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.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong licensing knowledge, supervisory experience, excellent communication skills and a passion for public protection.
What We Are Looking For
- Good standard of general education, including at least five GCSEs (Grade C/4 or above) or equivalent.
- Significant experience of interpreting, applying and enforcing licensing legislation and regulations.
- Experience supervising staff and allocating work within a professional or technical service environment.
Why Choose Us
We have some outstanding benefits to offer you, including:
- 26 days annual leave plus public/bank holidays, rising to 31 days after 5 years of service (pro rata for part-time employees)
- Automatic enrolment into the Local Government Pension Scheme
- Flexi scheme (if applicable) - up to 2 days flexible leave available per month (pro rata for part-time employees)
- Local government discount schemes available to all employees with offers at local businesses along with various national brands
- A range of salary sacrifice schemes are available
