Following comprehensive training, your primary role will be to take a leading role in tackling illicit tobacco and vapes, co-ordinating and organising operational work including liaison with partners, gathering and analysing local Intelligence, leading operational work in this field, dealing with evidence gathering and disposal, publicising the work and collating quarterly data on what’s been delivered
In addition to this, you will initially assist senior officers with operational work including investigations, inspections, projects and other interventions as directed to determine compliance with legislation, including taking part in national, regional and local initiatives and enforcement activities
This will give you the knowledge and experience you need to ultimately start to carry your own investigation case load and run your own projects
You will also be asked to support wider service activities and work as needed, and to participate in the Duty system, monitoring incoming complaints and dealing with them in accordance with our protocols
Much of what we do requires a level of research to inform our work, for instance as part of investigatory project work, and it will therefore be necessary for you to conduct research from time to time
For some areas of your work you will need to make test purchases or take samples and arrange for their testing in accordance with legislative requirements and statutory guidance
For the majority of businesses we deal with, when we find a breach of legislation, we issue advice and guidance to help them put things right, which can be in a range of formats. As such this will also be an integral part of the role
For more serious issues it is likely to be necessary for you to issue statutory notices and warning letters to non-compliant businesses, and conduct criminal interviews, prepare legal reports for our lawyers in preparation for legal action
Trading Standards works with a wide range of partners, and it will be really important in this role to develop and maintain effective partnership working arrangements with a range of services and agencies both within and outside of the council in the areas you are involved in in order to help facilitate the best possible outcome
Accurate record keeping and attention to detail is essential to comply with service, as well as legal, requirements, so this will be an important element of the role
Intelligence is fundamental to the Service and you will play a part in supporting this through Intelligence gathering, analysis and recording on our Intelligence database
In addition to the training and examinations you’ll be required to participate in to achieve your Level 6 Apprenticeship, you will also attend external training in other areas of the service where this would benefit your role, and occasionally you will be required to travel to training outside the authority which may include an overnight stay
Whilst you will be provided with one day a week study time, it will be necessary to do several hours study a week in your own time as part of your Apprenticeship
You will also be expected to co-author your training and development plan, and to seek out opportunities to shadow and assist officers to increase your experience of our work across the service and meet the requirements of your apprenticeship
On occasion you will be required to work outside of normal office hours (weekends and evenings) as necessary to maximise the effectiveness of service delivery
