About the team we are recruiting to

Coventry is expanding with a growing population and a buoyant and increasing private rented sector. A key strategic priority for the Council is to therefore keep residents safe and tackle poor housing conditions.

The Council currently responds to complaints in the Private Rented Sector and implements Mandatory and Additional HMO licensing schemes to deal with issues caused by the poor management of privately rented HMO properties. These services and schemes offer an opportunity to work in a busy high-profile environment dealing with the inspection and enforcement of all private rented homes.

If you are motivated, professional in your approach and have adept organisational skills then Coventry could be the place for you!

We value diverse perspectives and experiences and are striving to create a workplace culture that is inclusive, is accepting of all and is free from discrimination and bias.

Some of the tasks involved are:

• Maintenance of project data, running reports and supplying information to government.
• Providing advice to landlords and tenants
