Could you see yourself working outdoors? Do you have excellent customer service skills? Do you have a Full Clean driving licence? If so, you could be our next Dual role Parking and Environmental 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 issuing tickets to vehicles parked in contravention of the TMA 2004. You will help to maintain clean neighbourhoods by enforcing the Council's litter provision and Public Space Protection Order by way of issuing fixed penalty notices. You will report any other environmental issues and deal with general enquiries from the members of the public. Yes, you will be issuing fines, but this job is about creating a positive impact on the local neighbourhood & community.

What will you do?

• You will play an important role in reducing traffic congestion, antisocial behaviour, and environmental crimes.
• You will be expected to issue tickets to vehicles parked in breach of the rules.
• You will keep a detailed log of the violations and debrief incidents that occur during your shift.
• You will enforce local laws to protect the area from litter, dog fouling and various other breaches of the Environmental Act and Sefton's Public Space Protection Order.
• You will be walking between 10-15 miles a day in all weathers.

So, could this role be for you?

• You will be dealing with members of the public face to face, at times in challenging situations.
• The aptitude to work on your own or 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.
• You will need to have the ability to write short factual statements and detail evidence for any further prosecution in court/tribunal.
• 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.
• Basic English and Maths qualifications would be preferred or demonstration of this from previous employment.
