Environmental Practitioner (Environmental Protection)
Initial 4–6 Month Contract (Potential for Extension)
Full-Time Preferred (Flexible Working Considered)
Hybrid Working – Minimum 2 Days per Week On-site
We are working with a Local Authority in the East Midlands to recruit an experienced Environmental Health Officer or suitably qualified Environmental Practitioner for an initial 4–6 month contract, with the potential for extension.
Joining a busy Environmental Protection team, you will manage a varied caseload covering statutory nuisance, environmental pollution, and anti-social behaviour (ASB) complaints, while also providing technical advice on planning consultations and environmental impacts.

- Investigating statutory nuisance complaints
- Conducting noise nuisance assessments and monitoring
- Managing anti-social behaviour (ASB) and environmental pollution cases
- Responding to planning application consultations

Requirements:
- Previous experience working within Environmental Protection or Environmental Health for a Local Authority
- Proven experience investigating statutory nuisance, noise, and pollution complaints
- Competence in environmental noise assessment, ideally supported by an IoA Diploma or equivalent qualification
