About Camden
Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today and we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. &nbsp;Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.
What You’ll Be Doing&nbsp;

We have an exciting opportunity for you to join Camden’s private sector housing team. The Council has a large number of houses in multiple occupation and has operated a successful&nbsp;borough-wide additional HMO licensing scheme since 2015.
We are looking for a proactive and enthusiastic Environment Health Practitioner, or a graduate EHO working towards their Chartered status, to join our HMO Enforcement team.&nbsp;
At Camden we strive to make use of all enforcement tools available to protect tenants and ensure accommodation is of a suitable standard. We are looking to continue to expand upon this good work as it is estimated that there may still be up to 5,000 unlicensed HMOs operating within the borough.
This is a unique opportunity to work within a small multi-disciplinary enforcement team consisting of Environmental Health Officers, Tenancy Relations Officers (TROs), Trading Standards Officers and dedicated legal support.
The role will require you to take personal responsibility for investigations into unlicensed and/or dangerous HMO properties, carry out reactive and proactive inspections of both licensed and unlicensed HMOs, serve enforcement notices, issue civil penalties and take prosecutions. You will also be required to consider other high level enforcement interventions including rent repayment orders and banning orders for the most serious cases.
The multi-disciplinary set up enables the team to ensure that tenants are provided with holistic housing advice and enforcement action can be taken for harassment and illegal evictions as well as Housing Act 2004 offences. The multi-disciplinary set-up provides an opportunity for you to work closely with colleagues in other areas and improve your knowledge and understanding of related housing legislation which may not be regularly enforced by EHOs.
If you are motivated and professional in your approach with good organisational skills, then Camden could be the place for you. You’ll&nbsp;be joining a friendly team committed to providing safe and healthy housing. At Camden we embrace teamwork and personal development and you will&nbsp;have the opportunity to develop your skills across a range of fascinating challenges.&nbsp;
This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require an Enhanced DBS.&nbsp;
