Are you a Land Charges Officer looking for a promotion or a Senior Land Charges Officer looking to relocate to the lovely Southwest of England?

We are seeking a Senior Land Charges Officer. This is a key role which ensures people can buy property across our district, we can protect buildings of significant importance, and we can achieve our vision of making Teignbridge a healthy and desirable place to live, work and visit.

This role has arisen due to the promotion of the previous postholder to a similar role in another local authority.

# Pay structure changes are expected this Autumn 2025 which may lead to an uplift depending on your salary on appointment. We are also expecting the latest LGA pay award.

*Whilst this role is full-time, we will consider applicants looking for compressed work patterns or slightly less than full-time hours.

We do things well and keep developing.

The Land Charges team have improved processes over the last few years and are transferring some tasks as part of a Government project to HM Land Registry.

We offer a flexible working environment where everyone works in the office at least 50% of their week and may work the remainder at home should they wish.

We're better together.

Teignbridge is a beautiful area of South Devon which stretches from the west side of Exeter, with Dartmoor to the north and the coastline to the south.

We are an equal opportunities employer committed to a diverse and inclusive organisation. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of their age, caring responsibilities, disability, gender/sex, gender reassignment/trans status, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation and socio-economic status. We also welcome applications from military veterans and their families.

We can offer:

Generous Local Government Pension Scheme. Hybrid and flexible working - minimum 50% office based, and part home based. Paid Professional Membership fee subject to local terms & conditions. Free car parking (we also have close access to a mainline train station). A refurbished modern zero carbon emissions office space. Generous annual leave and wellbeing package. Heavily discounted membership at Teignbridge District Council Leisure Centres. Cycle to Work Scheme. Opportunities for career and self-development. 24/7 employee discount access and employee assistance support.

You are a good Teignbridge District Council fit if you:

Have previous experience of land charges work. Have experience of working in a technical or administrative role with responsibility for own workload. Have good digital skills. Can communicate clearly to all stakeholders both verbally and in writing.

It is vital to read the job description and person specification for this role - it will help you understand whether your knowledge, skills and experience match the job requirements.
