The extraordinary story of the power of empowerment
Environmental Health at Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where passionate and expert professionals go above and beyond for their communities every day.
Natasha started her career in the NHS. She came to Westminster to do more for vulnerable people. When a family in her community reached out to her after their heating was cut off, Natasha took their situation seriously. Living in terrible conditions, and reaching desperation, they had nowhere else to turn. Natasha stepped in, holding the landlord to account and getting them to improve conditions for the family. These are the moments that make her the proudest. Now, she uses her expertise and experience to empower others.
The Role:
As Senior Environmental Health Officer, you can make your own powerful contribution to ensuring everyone in Westminster can thrive in a clean, safe and quiet city. What’s more, you’ll play a vital role in helping junior colleagues to develop their careers. If you’re keen to use your experience not only to keep doing good for communities, but also to help the next generation of environmental health professionals to thrive, then Westminster is the place for you. As well as taking the lead on your own complex cases, you’ll mentor and support junior officers, using your own cases as live training opportunities.
In this role, you’ll draw on all your specialist technical skills and knowledge to champion health and wellbeing across a range of high profile cases, while guiding and supporting newer officers to follow in your footsteps. We’ll look to you to develop, implement and enforce environmental health policies and legislation in a range of ways – from inspections and engagement, through to education and enforcement. You’ll also support the Principal Officer in developing and delivering training and quality monitoring systems, and you’ll get involved in projects to achieve process and service improvements.
