We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic individual that can advance our work on climate change and biodiversity. The Council has taken great strides through improvements to the Town Hall, through domestic retrofit across the Borough and other projects, but we now want someone that can support work across the organisation working with managers to get things done and contribute to meeting the Council’s target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
Located in the ‘Heart of Derbyshire’ with a borough comprising of quiet villages, market towns and excellent transport links, Amber Valley is set in beautiful countryside with the Derwent Mills world heritage site adding to the charm of Amber Valley.
Recognising that reducing carbon emissions is a priority nationally, we are looking for someone to provide expertise and drive to help us to continue to support our efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
We want our new colleague to help facilitate our collective efforts to deliver the Council’s biodiversity duties, including working closely with communities and local organisations to assist in delivering the 5-year plan which is currently being drafted.
Ideally you will need to have knowledge and/or experience of carbon reduction measures. You will need a good understanding of relevant technologies, techniques, materials and be able to use and develop a system for recording and monitoring emissions.
You will need to have excellent IT skills and the ability to organise and prioritise your own work. You may also be required to work on site and work from home occasionally. Please refer to the job description and person specification for further details.

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.
