About us
New Forest District Council is one of the largest non-unitary Councils in the UK.

This provides a diverse range of challenging and interesting issues for an Environmental Health Officer working here to resolve.

What we can offer you, is a great place to work, in a friendly, experienced and supportive team. At New Forest District Council we encourage our employees to make a valuable contribution to the work of the council by having a trusting and open culture, where ideas are actively sought and self-development promoted.
