The Trading Standards Service of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council enforces a diverse mix of legislation aimed at protecting consumers and legitimate traders.
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and suitably skilled individual to join the team, on a three year fixed term contract, enforcing in areas of Fair Trading (Intellectual Property) and other Trading Standards legislative areas including Proceeds of Crime investigations and proceedings.
The successful applicant will provide operational support in the form of enforcement, investigation and enhancement of intelligence in areas of acquisitive crime including intellectual property law and other legislation where we can make the most of the Proceeds of Crime Act and recover illicit earnings from illegitimate businesses and individuals.
Enforcement experience within Trading Standards and Financial Investigation Officer accreditation with the National Crime Agency would be advantageous. The nature of the post will require a flexible approach to work including occasionally working outside what are regarded as normal hours. Preferably you can demonstrate recent experience in enforcement. Other essential qualities will include excellent written and verbal communication skills, the ability to deal firmly but fairly with people, and the ability to prioritise a demanding workload. Managing priorities and maintaining momentum will be key features for the successful applicant.
