Are you passionate about caring for your local community?

Do you have excellent interpersonal skills which you are able to adapt to different situations? Are you able to prioritise and organise a workload, work under pressure and manage priorities with minimum supervision using your own initiative?

We are looking for adaptable, pro-active, dedicated individuals to join our team as Neighbourhood Enforcement Officers. You will be working as part of a close-knit team and will be required to work closely with Environmental Case Officers dealing with environmental, noise and community safety issues daily.

In your role you will be acting as a visible uniformed enforcement presence and provide "on street” advice to the public, signposting them to other Council services where appropriate and to make them aware of the problems arising from non-compliance with environmental services legislation.

You will challenge behaviour that is unacceptable in the neighbourhood such as fly-tipping, dog fouling, littering, graffiti and, where informal approaches have been disregarded, utilise appropriate legislative tools, including the issuing of fixed penalty notices as well as other statutory notices for environmental offences and breaches.

As a NEO you will have a weekly rota working pattern where you will do one week of early shifts (7.00am – 3.00pm) and one week of late shifts (11.00am – 7.00pm). You are also required to work one weekend in five (Saturday 8:30am 4:30pm, Sunday 9am – 4:30pm). Due to the shift pattern of this role you will benefit from a 10% shift allowance. 

We currently have a full time permanent and a 12 month fixed term contract opportunity available.
