Do you want to make a real difference to the local environment and quality of life for communities?
If you want to make a real difference to the local environment and quality of life for local communities then consider joining our recently restructured Regulatory Services Department in one of three challenging yet rewarding roles.
The Dover district is home
to a diverse range of communities, from coastal towns to rural villages and hamlets. As well as making this a great place to live and work, this diversity also brings challenges and opportunities.
We work closely with the public and businesses to help realise our corporate vision of a District of ambition, inspiration, and good living – a destination of choice.
Within this vision we consider protection of the environment a high priority and aim to achieve this through serving our communities effectively with the provision of an efficient, effective, consistent customer focused Environmental Protection and Environmental Crime Teams which form part of the Regulatory Services Department.
We have a high commitment to customer care, so it is important applicants have:
• excellent communication skills,
• the ability to organise and manage their own workload.
• be able to work as part of a team,
• possess good IT skills.
This role covers a 37-hour week worked predominately between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday-Friday, however work outside these hours will be required from time to time for targeted operations or operational need.
Dover District Council employees have the benefit of;
• a generous annual leave package
• opportunity for home-working and flexible working hours subject to service requirements
• private healthcare scheme
• an opt-in local government pension scheme with the opportunity for staff to make advanced voluntary contributions to top up their pension.
• free onsite parking
• confidential employee advice and support programme
• a modern leisure centre within walking distance of the council offices with reduced membership rate for council employees
• the opportunity to work within a seaside location bursting with heritage and a number of towns and villages all within easy reach of the coast. Other benefits of living in the district include the excellent transportation links to London and across the continent via High-speed Train and cross-channel ferries
This post is a key part of the Environmental Protection Team.
The successful applicant would be expected to lead on a specific area of environmental protection cases whilst still carrying a wide case load covering a specified area of the District.
Much of the role involves being out and about undertaking a range of duties to enable the council to fulfil its statutory responsibilities in relation to environmental protection.
You will also;
• Contribute to the development and review of policies, strategies and procedures to reflect new practices, changes in legislation etc.
• Liaise with external agencies, Councillors, colleagues and members of the public.
• Take enforcement action where necessary. This includes preparation of prosecution files, legal notices, reports, schedules and correspondence etc.
• Participate in internal and external meetings as required on matters relating to environmental protection.
This post requires you to have a full driving license and own transport or requires travelling to sites in a timely manner equivalent to motor travel in your own car.
Due to the nature of this role, this post requires an enhanced DBS check.
To arrange an informal discussion on the role please contact Paul Neagle, Environmental Protection Manager at

Interviews are due to be held in the week commencing 26th April 2021.
