Now is an exciting time to join our rapidly growing Trading Standards team in Sunderland City Council. We are working hard on our commitment to deliver a modern consumer protection service that focuses on using resources in an efficient and targeted way. We are striving to ensure Sunderland is a compliant and safe place in which to live, work, visit and do business. As part of this, we are looking for a keen and forward-thinking individual to fill the role of Senior Consumer Protection Officer.
