An exciting opportunity to join City of Edinburgh Council as an Environmental Health Officer in Food, Health and Safety or Environmental Protection teams. The City of Edinburgh Council is a predominantly urban Local Authority with a population of approximately 523,000. Edinburgh is a popular tourist destination with visitors coming to see the city's museums, markets and monuments as well as some of the most famous festivals in the world.
Providing for the population and visitors requires services and facilities that meet their needs including entertainment, restaurants, bars and cafes. Edinburgh is an important financial centre and is home to a number of universities and colleges and some manufacturing. This dynamic operating environment and the impacts of both technological and legislative change require a strong Environmental Health Service performing to the highest standards of competency, service delivery and professionalism.
Our Environmental Health Service comprises teams across Environmental Protection and Food, Health and Safety and we are looking for enthusiastic and energetic EHOs to enhance all areas. We can offer a dynamic and interesting environment and encourage applications from qualified Environmental Health Officers (newly or experienced) looking for a new challenge.
These posts will be based in Waverly Court although work is throughout the city with a degree of flexibility and some home working (subject to operational requirements). Some work out of normal office hours will be required.
Open only to qualified applicants. For further information, please contact heather.dick@edinburgh.gov.uk.
We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We're interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range. Happy to talk flexible working.
