Full Vacancy Description

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic person to join our dynamic Trading Standards team and lead on tobacco enforcement. This post is jointly funded with Public Health and will be focussed on delivering the enforcement objectives of the National Tobacco Plan.

You will build upon our established work to reduce the prevalence of illicit and illegal tobacco across the County, whilst having the freedom to develop and expand the remit of the role.

We are looking for someone with strong communication skills who can comfortably work with partners both internal and external to the council.
