About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

Building on our strong progress in this area, you will help embed best practice, drive innovation, and uphold our positive, collaborative culture.

About the Team

Haringey’s Building Control team is nationally recognised, having been shortlisted as a finalist for the Local Authority Building Control Team of the Year at the LABC Building Excellence Awards 2024.

Based in Wood Green, opposite the Piccadilly Line tube station, the team thrives in a supportive, collaborative environment and embraces progressive working practices, including flexible and home-working.
