Jobs

Do you want to join a Trading Standards team serving the consumers and businesses in England’s largest county?

The Role

We are looking to recruit a trading standards officer to join our team, investigating complaints across multiple legislative areas. The daily work can be as varied as the beautiful landscapes you will be working in – doorstep crime, counterfeiting, motor crime, weights and measures and consumer safety.

The team conducts an annual programme of calibration at a major industrial site in the county. The team also administers the Safety Advisory Group so there will be the opportunity for the successful candidate to be involved in a variety of projects. 

Hybrid working is available for this position, with our offices located in Northallerton.

Skills and Experience

We welcome applications from qualified trading standards officers with broad experience across multiple areas. However, if you’re still working towards qualification, don’t let that stop you. We’re very happy to hear from applicants who have started the CTSI training programme or expect to qualify soon, and who bring practical experience from a Trading Standards setting.

You will lead on complex investigations and provide guidance and mentoring to develop the team. You will also have opportunity to present cases in the Magistrates’ court.

North Yorkshire Council supports staff through membership of CTSI which will allow you access to the CPPD scheme.   

What we Offer 

We are a strong performing authority, with supportive political leadership and talented teams providing the platform to have a fulfilling, challenging and successful career.

In addition to your salary, we offer a range of great benefits to help you financially and make life a bit easier. 

These include:

• A local government pension scheme with 18.1% employer contribution
• Salary sacrifice schemes
• Modern flexible working practices
• Learning and development packages
• Career advancement opportunities
• Employee discount benefits including shopping and gym discounts
• Green car and cycle schemes
• Travel loans
• Health assured – confidential help and support for your wellbeing
