Wokingham has a clear ambition that services should be locally focused and responsive to the needs of residents and business. To deliver this we are bringing environmental health and licensing functions back in-house from 1 April 2022.

We are looking to recruit progressive and experienced Service Managers to oversee our in-house teams with the following specialisms:
