Civil Enforcement Officer

The Role
Civil Enforcement Officer - Southport - Full Time - 40 hours per week - £23,753.60 per annum
Do you like caring for the environment and helping the public? Could you see yourself working outdoors? Do you have excellent customer service skills?
If so, you could be our next Environmental and Parking enforcement Officer?
Within this role you will be patrolling public streets, car parks, green spaces, and public parks. You will be advising the public of where they can park safely and securely and issuing tickets to wrongly parked vehicles. You will help to maintain clean neighbourhoods by enforcing the Councils litter provision and Public Space Protection Order by way of fixed penalty notices. You will report any other environmental issues. You will also be dealing with general enquiries from the members of the public. Yes, you will be issuing fines, but you won’t have targets as this job is about creating a positive impact on the local neighbourhood.
What will you do?
- You will play an important role in reducing traffic congestion, antisocial behaviour, and environmental crimes.
- You will keep a detailed log of the violations and debrief incidents that occur during your shift.
- Enforce local laws to protect the area from litter, dog fouling, various other breaches, and local byelaw violations by issuing notices. There will be no requirement to deal with the issue.
So, could this role be for you?
- You will be dealing with members of the public face to face, so customer service must be something you really enjoy and excel at.
- The skill to connect to different audiences and work as part of a team is so important for this role.
- You’ll need to be reliable, self-motivated, and capable of dealing with possibly argumentative people or situations.
- Knowledge of environmental services would be of use but it’s not essential.
- PC skills would also be an advantage, as you will be using a handheld device daily.
- You will need to be over 18 to apply and a full clean Driving Licence would be useful, but not essential.
