Safe Neighbourhood Officer

Our Safe Neighbourhood Team plays a vital role in helping to keep our homes and communities safe. Through early intervention, prevention initiatives and partnership working, the team is committed to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) and supporting customers to feel safe where they live. We have an opportunity for a Safe Neighbourhood Officer to join our Safe Neighbourhoods and Support Service on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is a field-based role covering the East London and the surrounding areas, with occasional travel to other locations when required. Reporting to the Safe Neighbourhood Manager, you will investigate and manage ASB cases, taking a victim-centred approach to achieve positive outcomes for customers and communities. Working closely with local authorities, police and partner agencies, you will deliver prevention projects, identify safeguarding concerns and explore practical solutions to reduce ASB and neighbourhood issues.

You will also work alongside our ASB and Legal teams to support legal action where required, including attending court hearings and presenting straightforward cases such as injunctions and possession proceedings. While the role is primarily worked during normal business hours, there may be occasional requirements to work evenings or weekends to support investigations, attend meetings, court hearings or respond to operational needs.

As this is a mobile role, you will need a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
