About the role:
When our Community Safety Enforcement Team receives a complaint of ASB, as the Anti-Social Behaviour Officer you’ll investigate and co-ordinate support from multiple agencies. With the help of residents, local communities and the police, you’ll aim to resolve issues at the earliest opportunity. When this isn’t possible, you’ll take formal enforcement action, including issuing Community Protection Warnings, Notices and Injunctions. Where necessary you’ll manage cases through to prosecution, building detailed files to be used in court. There’ll also be plenty of preventative work: engaging young people and delivering local action plans.
The main duties of the Anti-Social Behaviour Officer will include:
- Assessing reports of ASB and making relevant recommendations or taking appropriate action
- Managing and maintaining your own caseload
- Submitting prosecution files
- Attending Court to provide evidence
- Writing and taking statements
- Chairing and attending multi-agency meetings
It’s important that you can handle investigations from initial report through to court proceedings. With a solid investigative background you’ll need to be aware of relevant legislation and be used to giving expert advice. You’ll also be adept at uniting partners and co-ordinating them to combat problems. Though expertise is crucial, it must come with a sense of empathy. You must understand how victims feel and be ready to support them. Good communication skills are essential, along with determination. If you have the knowledge and tenacity to find solutions, we’d like to hear from you. This role does require travel across the whole of Central Bedfordshire, however this can be conducted using a Central Bedfordshire fleet vehicle.
Join us, and take advantage of a generous rewards package, specialist training on legislation and the chance to learn and progress. You can also find your greatness by keeping communities and residents safe.
