A bit more about the role
The Civil Enforcement team helps the District Council meet the demands of the Traffic Management Act 2004. As a Civil Enforcement Officer, you will perform a unique and innovative role, conducting street patrols within designated areas of the district, maintaining the safe and free flow of traffic by patrolling (on foot and / or mobile) controlled parking areas and issuing Penalty Charge Notices to vehicles which are in contravention of the parking restrictions and /or providing drivers with the necessary information in order for them to gain a better understanding of parking by way of a positive message.
TDC are keen to deliver a strict enforcement policy coupled with a positive and courteous service so the role will require you to have excellent communications skills and maintain a polite but assertive approach in order to communicate positively and effectively with the public in an enforcement environment.
An understanding of legislation/regulations relating to the operation and enforcement of both on-street and off-street parking enforcement is desirable but training will be provided, so a good attitude to work and a desire to learn on the job is needed.
For an informal discussion about this role please contact Rebecca Glaiser, Parking and Transportation Manager, rebecca.glaiser@thanet.gov.uk.
