I am a chartered senior member of the Environmental Health Community of Practice I have developed expertise and knowledge across the complex and evolving discipline of Environmental Health and Housing, with a new focus on housing conditions and its effect on health and wellbeing, along with fuel poverty. I have a proven track record of leading teams and projects. I have good experience of interviewing and appointing staff, arranging and supervising staff development, objective setting and performance monitoring.I use my experience and skills of welcoming and encouraging changes to work practices including seeking new partnership opportunities and actively embrace technological solutions such as increasing productivity by remote working. I am confident in making complex decisions and assessing risks in order to make sound judgements. I have worked with Planners to discharge complex wind farm conditions, including overseeing the work of consultants/developer. My work has fed into a national working group which has developed guidance for Amplitude Modulation assessment. I have led on complex projects such as the implementation of new regulations. This allowed me to develop evidenced based new policies, procedures and guidance, review processes, monitor outputs and train colleagues. I have suggested different strategies to undertake functions with the resources available. As CIEH SW region chairperson, I have been responsible for an executive officer and a £15k budget including income generation. It is imperative that local authorities and other partners collaborate to maximise output and value for money. I incorporate value for money principles to both my voluntary and working activities, for example, leading on negotiations for a county-wide laboratory contract for water sampling, that work is being done at the right level, eliminating non-productive meetings and providing low cost training.
