Environmental Health Manager

A North London Local Authority is seeking an experienced Environmental Health Manager for a 3-month contract paying £441 per day Umbrella (Inside IR35).

This is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished housing or environmental health professional to step into a leadership role where your expertise will directly improve housing standards, support residents, and drive enforcement excellence across the borough.

You will manage and support a team of PRS officers, ensuring a consistent, resident-focused service aligned with service standards and the council's PRS Charter. The role requires a proactive and solution-focused manager who can motivate teams, manage complex casework, and confidently lead on enforcement activity, legal proceedings, inspections, and operational performance.

As the subject matter expert, you will provide guidance on all aspects of PRS legislation and enforcement, including property licensing, Housing Act compliance, environmental protection matters, and tenancy legislation. You will also play a key role in developing policies and procedures, improving reporting systems, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring public-facing information remains clear and compliant.

To be successful, you will have previous experience within a Private Sector Housing or Residential Environmental Health team, alongside proven management or supervisory experience. You must have a strong understanding of relevant housing legislation, including the Housing Acts 1988 & 2004, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Renters' Rights Act 2025, and related enforcement powers.

The ideal candidate will be confident managing prosecutions, financial penalties, tribunals, and complex investigations, while also demonstrating excellent communication, organisational, and stakeholder management skills. Strong IT literacy and experience using housing or licensing systems are essential.
