Based in Fairfield House in Dalkeith, just fifteen minutes south from the City of Edinburgh, we require two enthusiastic and committed Environmental Health Officers to work full time, on a permanent basis, in the areas of Food & Safety (Post DCW300) & Public Health (Post M123).

You will be highly motivated and expected to make a positive contribution towards the development of the service and the health, safety and wellbeing of our population and stakeholders.
You will be responsible for a busy and varied workload across a range of Environmental Health functions dealing primarily with residents, businesses and duty holders across Midlothian. You must have a sound knowledge of environmental health legislation and be willing to engage with ongoing professional development.
The ability to work to specific deadlines and deploy excellent communication and IT skills is key.
