We are St Helens Borough Council
Located in the heart of the Northwest close to Liverpool, Manchester and Lancashire, St Helens is a modernising Council which is passionate and ambitious for the children and families we support, our communities and our workforce. As part of our transformation journey, we continue to build on our progress and put children firmly at the centre of our care. We can only do this because of our highly valued, skilled, and supported workforce.
St Helens Borough Council is seeking to appoint two Safer Communities Officers to lead the operational response to anti social behaviour in the borough.
Working in collaboration with statutory partners and wider agencies, the postholders will co-ordinate the response to anti social activities in our communities. From managing casework to responding to challenges at a neighbourhood level, the postholders will use the full toolkit of measures to respond to the concerns of residents.
The post offers more than the response to anti social behaviour, with the opportunity to work in our neighbourhoods to build community capacity and to support local groups and organisations to prevent crime and disorder.
If you are interested in working in a partnership role within the community safety sector, this is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of our residents whilst building professional skills and experience.
Please note we reserve the right to close the advert early should we receive a sufficient number of applications and encourage you to apply early, to avoid disappointment.
