Interim Private Sector Housing Officer

We're supporting a Kent-based Local Authority in securing an experienced Private Sector Housing Officer to step into a busy caseload and hit the ground running.

If you're confident managing enforcement cases and enjoy being out in the field, this one will suit you.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing a varied caseload across private sector housing
• Responding to service requests and carrying out property inspections
• Using HHSRS to assess hazards and determine appropriate action
• Progressing enforcement action where required, including notices and penalties
• Supporting HMO licensing and compliance activity
• Liaising with landlords, tenants, and internal teams to drive resolutions

What they're looking for:

• Recent experience within a Local Authority Private Sector Housing team
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Solid understanding of current housing legislation and enforcement processes
• Ability to prioritise workload in a fast-paced environment

This is a great opportunity for someone who likes autonomy, variety, and making a tangible difference within the private rented sector. Our client is looking to shortlist applications and interview next week.
