Grade 5: 26,824 - 28,142 per annum

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with the necessary ICT skills to work as part of our busy Environmental Health Team, supporting the delivery of business inspections, licencing applications, and service requests from the public. As we configure and roll out a new computer database, this is an exciting time to join the team and be part of shaping our future service delivery.



You will provide administrative and software system business support to our Environmental Health and Private Sector Housing Departments. Working with our Information Systems Officer to maintain and update the back-office software system, in line with service requirements. With responsibility for managing the Business Support mailbox, ensuring requests are actioned, responded to, or reassigned.



Competent use of IT programs is essential, as is the ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of people. Experience of using regulatory services databases would be an advantage, but we will provide full training on our systems.
