The post holder will be responsible for Pest Control targeting known areas of concern throughout the borough, including the treatment of pests, sewer baiting activities, engaging with residents and communities to provide advice and guidance, and taking enforcement action where necessary. In addition, the post holder may be required to assist the wider service, and to supervise other officers, particularly with pest management.

We promote applications from all sections of the community, regardless of background, belief, or identity, recognising the value that diversity brings to our organisation. We particularly welcome applications from individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds and candidates with disabilities as we acknowledge their underrepresentation in our workforce.

We will consider requests for flexible working. For most roles, the following types of flexibility are usually possible: flexible hours, working from home, compressed hours, part-time.
