About the role

Brighton and Hove is a vibrant and popular place to live with a much higher than average proportion of privately rented homes, including a significant number of Houses in Multiple Occupation. We believe that our private rented sector should be well managed and that everyone has the right to live in decent, safe accommodation.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated person to join our Private Sector Housing Team who will share our drive to improve the management, standards and quality of private sector homes in the city. Experience of dealing with complex problems and the ability to work under pressure is essential. In return, we can offer a fabulous office location near the sea and shops, and excellent terms and conditions including staff discounts on good and services throughout the city. We can also offer great self-development and career opportunities through our People Promise commitments.

Additional information

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency's Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.

Company information

We welcome applications from all sections of the community but particularly encourage applicants from a BME or White Other background as well as those who identify as male or trans as these groups are currently under-represented in our Directorate workforce.

As part of Brighton & Hove City Council's ongoing commitment to redeployment, please note that this vacancy may be withdrawn at any stage of the recruitment process, without prior notice if a suitable redeployee (internal employee at risk of redundancy) is identified.
