Your full range of duties will include enforcing the relevant provisions under the Licensing Act, Gambling Act, street trading/collections, hackney carriage/private hire, scrap metal dealers, and animal welfare.

You must be able to demonstrate your ability to adapt to changing priorities and work to tight deadlines.
A recruitment allowance applies to this position. A payment of £3,300 will be made with the first month’s salary, with repayment required if the appointed person leaves within three years, thus:

In addition to the car user allowance, we can offer excellent conditions of service with a benefits package that includes pension scheme, free parking, and flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
