Job Description

Our client, a local authority in the South West, is looking for an experienced interim Team Leader to take the reins on HMO Licensing and Enforcement.

This is a focused brief — HMO licensing and enforcement casework, following a recent restructure that's split this out from the wider enforcement function. If you want to lead a team, clear a backlog, and get stuck into real HMO casework without the sprawl of a broader service, this is it.

What you'll be doing:

  * Leading the HMO Licensing and Enforcement function

  * Processing HMO applications — Mandatory, Additional, and Selective Licensing

  * Managing and reducing backlogs of licence applications and inspections

  * Carrying out and overseeing HMO inspections (HHSRS)

  * Assessing property conditions, amenity standards, and management arrangements

  * Reviewing and serving enforcement notices — Improvement Notices, Prohibition Orders, licence condition breaches

  * Tackling non-compliance — unlicensed HMOs, rogue landlords, licence breaches

  * Processing Civil Penalty Notices under the Housing Act 2004

  * Managing prosecution files and evidence for serious cases

  * Leading and supporting a team of EHOs / Housing Enforcement Officers / Licensing Officers

  * Allocating casework and managing team performance

  * Liaising with the council's Planning Enforcement/Envirocrime function on cross-over cases

  * Handling landlord, tenant, and member enquiries

  * Reporting casework status and performance to management

What you'll bring:

  * Local authority background in Private Sector Housing, Environmental Health, or Housing Standards

  * Hands-on HMO Licensing experience (Mandatory, Additional, Selective)

  * Practical HMO enforcement experience — notices, prosecutions, civil penalties

  * Solid working knowledge of the Housing Act 2004, HMO Management Regulations, HHSRS

  * Team leadership/supervisory experience

  * A track record of clearing backlogs

  * Confidence with case management and evidence gathering for enforcement

Nice to have:

  * EHORB registration or CIEH membership

  * Experience with Selective/Additional Licensing designations

  * Prohibition Notices, Improvement Notices, Smoke Alarm Remedial Notices

  * PACE interviewing / prosecution file experience

  * Previous interim/locum local authority experience
