A bit more about the role
The Civil Enforcement team helps the District Council meet the demands of the Traffic Management Act 2004. As a Civil Enforcement Officer, you will perform a unique and innovative role, conducting street patrols within designated areas of the district, maintaining the safe and free flow of traffic by patrolling (on foot and/or mobile) controlled parking areas and issuing Penalty Charge Notices to vehicles which are in contravention of the parking restrictions and /or providing drivers with the necessary information for them to gain a better understanding of parking by way of a positive message.
TDC are keen to deliver a strict enforcement policy alongside a positive, courteous service, so the role will require you to have excellent communication skills and to maintain a polite but assertive approach to communicate effectively with the public in an enforcement environment.
An understanding of legislation/regulations relating to the operation and enforcement of both on-street and off-street parking enforcement is desirable, but training will be provided, so a good attitude to work and a desire to learn on the job are needed.
Due to the nature of this role, this post requires a standard DBS check
