West Devon Borough and South Hams District Councils are shared authorities with an exciting, innovative and forward looking delivery model.

The role will take responsibility for a varied programme of casework primarily including, but not limited to, Licensing Act 2003, Gambling Act 2005, Acts related to Hackney Carriage and Private Hire licensing, along with various miscellaneous legislation.
