HMO inspection project

Our client in Essex is seeking an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) to undertake an inspection project of approximately 160 dwellings in the borough, with provision for possible additional inspections. The project involves inspecting licensed houses in multiple occupation (HMO) as part of the mandatory licensing process.

The HMOs are currently licensed but have had no licence application verification or condition compliance checks, and no Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) assessment. The Council will provide a copy of the licence and relevant parts of the application for each dwelling.

Successful candidates will need experience and competence in Housing Regulation, HHSRS, HMO licensing, and HMO management compliance. The Council will carry out random auditing of reports and inspections.

You will be using Meta street, so previous experience of this software is required.

The compensation for this role is £180 per inspection (umbrella/Ltd).

Please note that this is an equal opportunities employer.
