Neighbourhood Enforcement OfficerCouncil

INTERNAL VACANCY

The City of York Council Community Safety Hub is seeking to recruit a Neighbourhood Enforcement Officer.

We are looking for someone with experience in an enforcement role and can demonstrate the ability to interpret and work to a wide range of anti-social behaviour and environmental crime legislation.

Although the post-holder must demonstrate they are comfortable in taking enforcement action where appropriate, they should also have experience of providing advice and support and the ability to problem-solve, to find informal solutions in the first instance.

Excellent communication skills are essential, with the successful candidate demonstrating the ability to communicate effectively with a wide audience, including members of the public, council colleagues, partner agencies and Elected Members.

In turn we can offer you a varied and stimulating role, together with the support of a dynamic and forward-thinking team.

A full driving licence is required.

This post is suitable as a job share opportunity.

The postholder will have access to secure government sites or email. In order to use these systems, the Cabinet Office requires the HR Team to carry out Baseline Personnel Standard Security (BPSS) checks.

As this role is public facing, applicants will need to demonstrate, at interview, their competency to converse and provide advice and guidance to members of the public, in spoken English to CEFR level C2: Can express themselves spontaneously at length with a natural conversational flow, avoiding or backtracking around any difficulty so smoothly that the person with whom they are conversing is hardly aware of it.

Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.

Please note, we do not have a sponsorship licence to sponsor individualsfor visas to work in the UK, therefore we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
