Environmental Health Officer – Building Safety Programme

As Environmental Health Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to housing and wellbeing in our diverse communities. A key member of our Building Safety Programme team, you’ll enjoy great scope to expand your experience and knowledge, taking your environmental health expertise to the next level. The team is responsible for regulating standard in residential accommodation. A particular focus is on ensuring the remediation of external wall systems (EWS) on high and mid-rise buildings that are privately owned.

It’s a challenging role, as you’ll be working with new legislation: the Building Safety Act 2022. Carrying out building inspections, you’ll check compliance, identify risks and work with building owners to ensure they follow the Act and keep every resident safe. It’s about education: helping businesses and individuals to understand and meet regulatory requirements. It’s about reassurance: making sure everyone who lives in Westminster can sleep soundly. And, if necessary, it’s about enforcement: taking action to ensure safety.
