You will work with landlords to ensure properties are brought into a good state of repair, are decent and safe for the occupants to live in, protecting public health and improving quality of life.
Experience working within a regulatory or enforcement or other _employment discipline where the experience gained would be of benefit to the work of the team. A degree or HNC in Environmental Health would also be beneficial._

We're proud to do local government differently, in a city with an international reputation for diversity, creativity, culture and passion.

When you join us, you're joining a team of over 7,000 council staff helping to make our ambition for Manchester a reality.
