Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Environmental Health Officer to join Aberdeenshire Council. Reporting to the Team Manager, you will work in a varied team alongside other Senior and Environmental Health Officers, Authorised Officers and Technical Staff. 

As a Senior Environmental Health Officer, you will be expected to have enhanced knowledge and experience within at least one subject area such as Pollution, Public Health or Food Safety and be a point of contact within the Service for this subject. 

Aberdeenshire offers a varied workload across a variety of towns, villages and countryside. Whilst the majority of staff work from home, there are a number of offices available for flexible working and a hybrid approach taken to meetings. Candidates must have the ability to travel within the North East of Scotland at short notice. 

Ideally, candidates will be Chartered Environmental Health Officers, or working towards chartered status and must hold at least one additional qualification in addition to their Diploma in Environmental Health.  

There is a responsibility for the post holder to demonstrate a commitment to quality service delivery through continuous improvement for the benefit of the Service and the organisation.

This post is regulated work with Children and/or Protected Adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. A confirmed offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

This post has a minimum requirement of one reference which must be your current or most recent employer.
