Apprentice Environmental Health Officer

Do you want to pursue a career in Environmental Health?

We are looking to appoint an Apprentice Environmental Health Officer who will gain experience of working across environmental health disciplines whilst working within the Environmental Health Residential Team.

The Council will train and develop the successful candidate on the job whilst supporting them in gaining a Level 6 (degree) integrated apprenticeship qualification.

As we are looking at appointing someone new to this area of work, the starting salary will be at the bottom end of the scale. This will increase as your experience and studies progress.

The Borough of Pendle lies in Lancashire’s beautiful Pennines and is within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, and the city of Manchester.

Pendle Borough Council offers an excellent work-life balance including flexitime with no core hours, up to 2 days flexi leave a month, compressed working options and up to 31 days annual leave.

This role is likely to be on a Flexible Contract as defined by our Agile Working Policy.  The minimum frequency for in-office attendance will be two or three times per week, however it could be more frequent based on the demands of the service.  We therefore expect candidates to reside within a commutable distance from Number One Market Street in Nelson, Lancashire.    

The Council’s benefits package includes an excellent Local Government Pension Scheme, generous holiday allowance with the option to buy additional annual leave, a cycle to work scheme, home tech and car scheme salary sacrifice schemes.  You will also be rewarded with access to our benefits programme, Viv up, which provides easy access to unbeatable discounts for retailers such as Argos, M&S, B&Q, Currys PC World, etc.

We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds.  Pendle Borough Council does not discriminate on any basis of disability, sex, marriage or civil partnership, race, gender reassignment, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age, pregnancy, or maternity.
