Membership Scheme Vetting Officer

Do you have excellent attention to detail?  Do you want to be part of a dynamic and innovative team that supports traders and protects residents in Kent? Do you have excellent customer skills?  If yes, we want to hear from you.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Scheme Vetting Officer to join our countywide membership scheme, Trading Standards Checked.  You will be working in a small team, dedicated to providing high quality customer service and performing a range of vetting and due diligence checks. 

You will have experience of working in an office, ideally working in fast-paced environments where accuracy, thoroughness and confidentiality is essential.  You will have a good knowledge of computer systems, experience of entering and extracting data on to databases and researching on a variety of open and closed sources.  You will be able to work effectively as part of a busy team, prioritising work and demonstrating flexibility, and you will be able to fully appreciate the need for accuracy and detail.

We are looking for someone who is motivated and keen to learn quickly. If this sounds like you, then we would like to encourage you to apply.

As a member of staff, you will have access to a competitive range of benefits including:

• The option to enroll in the Local Government Pension Scheme with employer matched contributions.
• Staff discounts on a range of products and services through our Kent Rewards programme.
• Flexible working – work from home or the office as required, and we’ll provide you with the equipment to work remotely.
• A starting salary of £22,595 with annual performance-related pay increases.

The post holder will be required to successfully complete a Non-Police Personnel Vetting Level 2 prior to commencement of employment.

This post is subject to a Basic Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
