An opportunity has arisen to join our Pollution Control Team as a Pollution Control Officer. The position deals with a wide range of service requests from the public, and some planning consultations.
Amber Valley is an attractive area in the heart of Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District National Park and close to the lively cities of Nottingham and Derby.

You will need to be an individual who is good at working and communicating with people from a range of backgrounds, as the main workstream will be dealing with complaints about noise and other forms of statutory nuisance investigation. The opportunity to develop your skills will be plentiful and we can offer a range of training to build on your existing competencies.
Applications are invited from those who meet the essential requirements of our person specification and for further details this may be viewed on our website at the jobs page.
A full driving licence is required, and the starting salary will be dependent on relevant experience, skill set, and qualifications held.
