Environment Department – Port Health & Public Protection – Trading Standards
This is an exceptional opportunity to join the City of London Trading Standards Team and train to become a fully qualified Trading Standards Officer through a nationally recognised Level 6 Trading Standards Professional Apprenticeship.
Trading Standards is a small but high-performing team that plays a vital role in supporting legitimate businesses, protecting consumers, and safeguarding the reputation of the Square Mile. You will contribute to a wide range of interesting, complex and impactful regulatory work from day one.
A key focus of this role is supporting the City Corporation’s work on tobacco and vaping enforcement. This programme is supported through targeted central government funding provided to local authorities to address the national priority of tackling illicit tobacco, reducing youth access to vaping products, and protecting public health. As such, it forms a critical part of the service’s regulatory programme. You will develop specialist knowledge and practical experience in addressing the sale and supply of illicit tobacco and unsafe vaping products, working on intelligence-led operations, inspections and investigations with partner agencies.
About the Role
The successful candidate will work alongside experienced officers, gradually developing the skills required to operate as an independent Trading Standards Officer.
You will:

Work collaboratively with partners, including the City of London Police and other enforcement agencies
Play a key role in protecting consumers, including identifying and supporting vulnerable victims
Training and Development
You will undertake a structured programme leading to the Level 6 Trading Standards qualification, supported by the City of London Corporation. This includes:
A formal apprenticeship programme of approximately two and a half years’ duration
Dedicated study time (around 20% of working hours)
Completion of coursework, portfolio evidence and end point assessment
Development of specialist knowledge, including in tobacco and vaping enforcement
This is an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career in a highly respected regulatory profession.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
Is enthusiastic, motivated and committed to learning and professional development
Is confident, professional and able to deal with a varied and at times challenging caseload
Has strong communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with businesses, consumers and partners
Can demonstrate a proactive approach to problem solving and investigation work
Has an interest in tackling illicit trade and protecting public health, particularly in relation to tobacco and vaping products
What We Offer
Working at the City of London Corporation offers a unique and rewarding environment. As part of the Trading Standards Team, you will:
Work in a high-profile regulatory service at the heart of London
Gain exposure to complex and nationally significant enforcement work
Receive full support to achieve your professional qualification
Benefit from modern offices at Guildhall and a collaborative, supportive team culture
Additional Information
Trading Standards in the City of London has a long and proud history of regulating trade and protecting the integrity of the Square Mile. Today, the team continues to play a key role in tackling emerging risks, including the growth of illicit markets such as illegal tobacco and vaping products.
