We have a rich history of welcoming people from all over the world and are proud to be recognised as the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary, for our work in championing the rights of refugees and migrants.

An opportunity has now arisen to join the Environmental Protection team at Lewisham as the Senior Air Quality Officer. Lewisham is a thriving and diverse London borough, with major redevelopment and regeneration taking place. The Environmental Protection team needs an experienced, enthusiastic and highly motivated Senior Air Quality Officer to deliver our service to the local community.
