Pest Control Officer (19/)
Dumfries
£31, - £33,
This is an exciting opportunity to work with Dumfries and Galloway Council’s Environmental Health team.
You will join our Community Protection service which comprises the Environmental Health and Trading Standards teams. As a Pest Control Officer, you will be using your professional skills to deliver the Council’s statutory enforcement duties as well as providing a service to the public.
Requirements:
You will need to be trained to Level 2 of the British Pest Control Association certificate in Pest Management or be willing to work towards this. Candidates with relevant pest control experience will be favoured and supported through the training if necessary.
Good interpersonal skills are crucial to this role, as it involves engaging with customers daily. The successful candidate will also have a good working knowledge of health and safety to ensure the safe handling of poisons.
A current driving licence is an essential requirement of this post. However, if you have a disability which precludes you from holding a driving licence consideration will be given if alternative transport can be arranged.
You must be enthusiastic, and able to manage a varied caseload.
Ideally, we are seeking to appoint a Pest Control Officer to cover the East of the region and therefore they would be based in our Dumfries office. However, this may be negotiable for the right candidate.
While this vacancy is for 36 hours per week (full time), candidates wishing to work fewer hours are still invited to apply. Consideration will be given to any working pattern and number of weekly hours.
