Gloucester City Council is an ambitious Local Authority driving the City’s transformation. It has an established culture of collaborative working and engagement with partners that makes it a supportive and dynamic working environment. The Council is focused on delivering the best possible outcomes for its residents and communities placing people at the heart of everything we do.
Do you want to join a busy and multi-skilled enforcement and regulation service and manage a team of officers dedicated to improving housing conditions, reducing health inequalities, and finding innovative solutions to the challenges facing the housing sector?
The private sector housing team draws on their housing, public health and environmental health knowledge, along with creativity, to deliver advanced interventions to improve the lives of Gloucester’s residents, while remaining dedicated to the councils’ priorities and values.
This role requires an experienced team leader to deliver our Additional Licensing Scheme and we will be focused on enforcing HMO standards in Gloucester as well delivering the ambitions of the Renters Rights Act 2025 and Disabled Facilities Grant team.
These posts offer an exciting opportunity to come into a team facing a wide array of challenging work streams and interesting projects. You will be responsible for working in a flexible and adaptable way with a ‘can-do’ attitude investigating housing complaints, inspecting and licensing houses in multiple occupation, ensuring compliance with mobile home site licence conditions and supporting our wider housing colleagues in improving social and supported housing.
