The Community Safety and Environmental Officers will play an important role in promoting safer, cleaner town centres and neighbourhoods.
They will work in partnership with internal and external stakeholders to tackle anti-social behaviour and environmental issues.
They will be expected to proactively engage with members of the public, businesses, and the wider community in relation to community safety and environmental issues, helping to build community capacity, resilience and pride in the place.
Support will be provided by the Operational Manager and the wider team, with access to training and development.
The ideal candidates for the Community Safety and Environmental Officer roles will have strong communication, problem solving, and relationship building skills.
They should be confident in working independently and collaboratively with others.
Flexibility is essential, as the role involves a variety of tasks and potentially the occasional requirement to work outside of normal office hours.
The Officers will be required to work outdoors, conducting site visits, engaging with individuals and businesses and responding to environmental concerns. The ability to remain calm under pressure and manage competing priorities is essential.
