The extraordinary story of over 6000 restaurants.
Environmental Health at Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where passionate and expert professionals go above and beyond for their colleagues every day.
Cian believes that food brings people together. His work opens his eyes to the widest range of people and places. From restaurants to hotels, cafés to bakeries, his inspections keep the public safe, and help businesses keep their doors open. And with over 6000 restaurants to explore, if there’s one thing he knows for certain, it’s that he’ll never be bored.
The Role:
As an Environmental Health Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. You will join a highly experienced team, where you will get opportunities to develop your environmental health skills while challenging yourself.
As a part of our environmental health service, you will work within and nurture an integrated Public Protection and Licensing directorate that is responsible for ensuring a culturally competent, inclusive workforce that identifies with our community through its positive values and behaviours.
You will also need to channel your environmental and health knowledge to help make Westminster healthier and equitable for all residents and businesses.
Responsible for developing, implementing and enforcing environmental health policies and legislation, you will use specialist technical skills and knowledge to maintain and safeguard health and well-being standards. You will also need to carry out routine or unplanned inspections to ensure compliance with legislation and take action to improve conditions, through engagement, education as well as enforcement.
While delivering a fair and informed response to complaints from our communities, you will resolve issues and risks that were highlighted in a time-effective manner. There will be instances where you will have to take enforcement action, initiate legal proceedings and prepare evidence to present in court. You will also need to promote integration of environmental health principals across the Council and its partners, while providing guidance and support to improve public health.
