Are you an experienced enforcement professional with a keen eye for detail and a passion for protecting the public? We’re looking for a proactive and confident Licensing Enforcement Officer to help ensure businesses, drivers, operators and licensed premises comply with the law across the city.
From investigating complaints and gathering evidence to carrying out inspections and taking enforcement action, no two days are the same. You’ll work across a wide range of licensing regimes including taxis and private hire, alcohol licensing, gambling, animal welfare and more.
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience in licensing or regulatory enforcement.
- Strong investigative and evidence-gathering skills.
- Confidence dealing with challenging situations and presenting cases in hearings or court.
- Excellent communication and report-writing abilities.
Important: This is not a standard office-hours role. Regular evening and weekend working is an essential requirement, with out-of-hours inspections, compliance checks and enforcement activity forming a key part of the post. Flexibility is therefore essential.
Join us and play a vital role in keeping our communities safe, fair and well regulated.
