Principal Public Protection Officer in Middlesbrough

We have an exciting role on offer as a Principal Public Protection Officer in our new Empty Properties team in the Public Protection service.

The role will be instrumental in developing the service to address the issues in relation to empty and problem properties, maximising the use of legal powers, bringing them back into use and working with internal and external partners to ensure success.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have knowledge and experience in dealing with empty properties and can demonstrate skills, experience and qualifications in management, although these are not essential.

You will also work alongside other Principal Officers and Service Managers to help deliver key statutory functions across the wider Public Protection Service and on corporate matters such as emergency planning.
