Join Hertsmere Borough Council as a Housing Enforcement and Licensing Officer and play a vital role in ensuring safe, fair, and well-managed housing across the borough. In this dynamic position, you will deliver a comprehensive enforcement and licensing service, working closely with the Head of Strategic Housing and Housing Services and the Housing Enforcement and Licensing Manager. You’ll investigate complaints, carry out inspections, and take decisive enforcement action where required to improve housing standards. Your responsibilities will span a diverse range of areas, including oversight of high-rise buildings, mobile homes, caravans, gypsy and traveller sites, and compliance with the Renters Rights Act and Supported Housing Regulatory Oversight Act.
