The Regulation Unit is looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and experienced person with a background in Pollution Control to manage our dedicated Pollution Control Team. Does that sound like you?
Amber Valley has a mix of communities in and around our four major towns and numerous villages, each with their individual challenges. Significant areas of the borough are rural with the Derbyshire Dales to the north and the two cities of Derby and Nottingham within easy reach. So, if you like variety you’ll enjoy working at Amber Valley.
Like the borough, our pollution control workload is varied and involves working with a range of individuals and businesses to deliver the best possible outcomes for our residents and communities. We have a small, dedicated team who work independently and with others to ensure that our communities are protected from the negative impacts of pollution.
The Pollution Control team investigates complaints of statutory nuisance, responds to planning consultations, regulates Part B permitted processes, monitors air quality, oversees the contaminated land regime under Part II A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and receives licence applications to comment on. It also looks into pest infestations, drainage problems and accumulations of waste on land. It’s a wide range of work and we are therefore looking for someone who is flexible and can demonstrate the pragmatism required to get things done and problem solve.
To manage the team, you will need to have the technical knowledge to advise team members, the time management skills to prioritise your work and the teams, and the people skills to diplomatically communicate with a wide range of service users. To support you the Council provides flexible working hours and hybrid working, a casual user car allowance, free office parking, personal and professional development opportunities, and access to the local government pension scheme.
Take a look at our person specification and job description for more details and if you would like an informal discussion please contact Ben Adams, Head of Regulation on 01773 841312 or email ben.adams@ambervalley.gov.uk.
