We also continue to enforce our off street car parks.

We are looking for a Part-time Civil Enforcement Officer to join our operational team based in Bury St Edmunds. This is a key role which involves promoting responsible parking and ensuring the free and safe movement of traffic through enforcement of legislation relating to the Traffic Management Act

You will patrol restricted parking areas, car parks and on-street pay and display parking bays, resident parking schemes and school enforcement areas to monitor compliance, taking appropriate enforcement action under current legislation by issuing Penalty Charge Notices using handheld computer devices.

You will investigate and assess individual cases, collect photographic evidence, keep detailed case notes, make written reports to enable subsequent legal action and attend Adjudication Tribunals when required.

You will be responsible for ensuring all pay and display equipment and payment services are serviceable by carrying out regular checks, ensuring ticket levels are sufficient, identifying faults and reporting any missing signs, road markings and anything that may constitute an enforcement issue or health and safety issue.

You will need excellent communication and customer service skills as you will come into regular contact with the general public and have to deal with potentially confrontational situations.

You will also need to maintain good working relationships with other services and external agencies such as the Police and DVLA.

Uniform and protective clothing, communication devices including a body worn camera, radio and a handheld device will be provided as you will be working outdoors in all weathers.

You will only work 4 hours per day over 4 shifts a week from Monday to Saturday which will include evenings, weekends and bank holidays from 4:30pm to 8:30pm so you must have a flexible approach.

You must be comfortable with lone working duties after initial training.

You must have a full UK driving licence (manual) as a vehicle will be provided for you to travel between sites.

There is also a significant amount of walking involved with this role and collection and handling of cash when required which will involve heavy lifting so you must be physically fit.
