The principle aim of the CSCT is to work with individuals and communities to tackle, prevent and reduce the harm caused by Hate Incidents & anti-social behaviour.

Our approach is underpinned by restorative practice, and it uses restorative interventions whenever appropriate.

About the role

You will have experience of casework and a background of engaging with vulnerable people, multi-agency working and problem solving, and will be motivated to make an effective and real contribution to community safety in Brighton & Hove.

You will manage your own caseload, co-ordinating both victim and perpetrator action plans, ensuring that supportive interventions and enforcement measures are used when necessary and appropriate.

You will work within a team of caseworkers sharing responsibility for providing a duty service during office hours, taking reports and enquiries regarding anti-social behaviour and Hate Incidents and providing advice, guidance and support to a diverse range of local residents, communities and professionals across the city.

You will receive job specific training in restorative practice, relevant tools and powers and supportive interventions, and will receive regular supervision and ongoing support.
