Main Responsibilities
Thanet District Council is looking for a motivated Housing Improvement Officer to join its Private Sector Housing Team. You will help ensure Thanet's private sector residents live in safe homes by using the wide range of enforcement tools at your disposal in a confident and determined manner. This role will focus on responding to housing complaints and undertaking proactive housing and health initiatives.

This post will be attractive to anyone seeking to broaden their experience with a challenging and varied role where initiative and robust interventions are encouraged.

Applicants will hold a degree or similar qualification in a relevant subject, such as environmental health or building surveying, as well as a competency certificate for HHSRS.
