Description

Full time, Permanent

Do you want to be a part of a dynamic, front-line service that works every day to make Bristol a safer, cleaner, and better place for people to live and work in? If you enjoy a challenge and are determined to make a difference to people's lives, then joining our Neighbourhood Enforcement Team could be the right move for you.

Our Neighbourhood Enforcement Team deals with a broad range of important matters which includes tackling noise and other forms of nuisance, ensuring that Bristol's licensed premises run smoothly, its highways remain free of obstructions, and that robust and timely action is taken to address environmental crime.

We are looking for someone to join the team who is passionate about making a difference, and who has the confidence to deliver actions designed to tackle the diverse range of issues that Bristol experiences.

Although your background may not be in enforcement, we are keen to hear from you if you feel you can demonstrate the relevant skills and are passionate about the role.

Your role will also involve:

Interviewing people, taking statements, building legal case files, and collaborating with both internal and external teams.
Participating in wider operations alongside colleagues, attending case conferences and visiting areas around the city as part of your investigations, and interacting with residents through a combination of prevention, education, partnership, and enforcement actions to achieve lasting behavioural change in Bristol.

Please note that the role will sometimes involve working early mornings, evenings, and some weekends, and you will be required to work a minimum of 60 hours a year out of hours with late nights on Friday and Saturday (approximately eight weekends a year) to conduct noise assessments and licensed premise visits.

The Neighbourhood Enforcement Team works closely with many other council services such as highways, housing, licensing, Clean Streets, and more, as well as residents, resident groups, police, business, and the council's environment enforcement contractor.

You will have plenty of opportunity for shadowing colleagues, for learning and development, and will be part of a supportive and high performing team.

Why Bristol City Council?

At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation.

For the majority of our role's hybrid working arrangements are available, giving teams the opportunity to work in a way that suits them, balancing service need and individual choice - mixing both home and office working.

Join us and you will receive an excellent rewards package including flexible working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance.

In addition, you will be working in a supportive environment where you will have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.
