About the Directorate

The Environmental Health - Consumer and Public Protection Service sits within the Assurance and Public Protection Directorate. We are committed to providing the very best services for residents, businesses, consumers and visitors.

We work in a modern, hybrid way recognising the importance of office attendance for key, in-person meetings and to collaborate with other colleagues, but with the flexibility needed to fulfil the role.

There is a new structure in place, focused on a risk-based and proportionate approach to the delivery of Environmental Health services and our statutory functions. We are now looking for extraordinary colleagues to join our team and help us to continue to deliver an excellent service.

Join us in our mission to create a healthier and more pleasant environment for all residents of Barnet.
