An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Council's Private Housing Standards team as a Business Support Officer.
Sheffield has around 45,000 privately rented homes, the sector has doubled in the past 10 years, and that growth is set to continue. The Private Housing Standards Team regulates the private rented sector in Sheffield; we advise and enforce on property conditions and management in those homes.
Business Support Officers within the Team will have responsibilities for assisting officers and managers with the day-to-day admin tasks required to successfully deliver the work of the service and to contribute achieving its overall objectives.
This is a permanent position which provides flexible working hours and offers a generous holiday entitlement of 25 days annual leave per year (rising to 30 days after 5 years' service with the Council). Part-time leave is worked out pro-rata based on this. The role will be mostly office based, but some home working may be relevant at times.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.
Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.
Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.
