What you'll do:

Dean, ex-soldier, 15 years with Bristow and Sutor
“ My average day involves visiting properties, speaking with customers or if they aren't there, speaking with neighbors. Some visits are simple, we just take payments or make arrangements, help them complete a questionnaire and update the system…Job done. Others can be more challenging; we might need to take control of their goods and remove where necessary. I like that the job enables me to earn what I deserve”.
Claire, newly trained, one year with Bristow and Sutor
“I never imagined a career in enforcement but always wanted to work in public services. My typical day involves planning my work schedule, what properties I need to visit and by when. I like helping debtors find the best solution. Being an enforcement agent isn't about scaring people or being a bully. It's about encouraging people to understand how they can find the best solution. Sometimes that involves directing vulnerable customers to support services. That part of the job is really rewarding, knowing I can help prevent someone from having to go through further stresses”.
