Help us create safer, stronger communities.
At whg, our customers deserve to feel safe in their homes and neighbourhoods. As a Community Safety Advisor, you’ll play a vital role in tackling anti-social behaviour, supporting victims and working with customers, colleagues and partner agencies to resolve complex situations that make a real difference to people’s lives.
This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. One day you could be supporting a vulnerable customer experiencing persistent anti-social behaviour, the next you could be working alongside the Police and partner agencies, preparing evidence for court or helping neighbours resolve long-standing disputes through restorative approaches.
If you’re resilient, compassionate and confident dealing with challenging situations, we’d love to hear from you.
Main Job Responsibilities
- Investigate reports of anti-social behaviour, ensuring cases are managed promptly, fairly and professionally.
- Take a problem-solving approach to resolve anti-social behaviour, balancing support, prevention and enforcement to achieve sustainable outcomes.
- Provide advice, guidance and practical support to victims of anti-social behaviour, crime and domestic abuse, helping to reduce repeat victimisation.
- Work with perpetrators to encourage positive behavioural change while taking proportionate enforcement action where necessary.
- Manage a varied caseload, prioritising cases according to risk and impact.
- Gather evidence, prepare detailed case files and represent whg during court proceedings when required.
- Use restorative justice and mediation techniques where appropriate to help customers resolve disputes and improve neighbour relationships.
- Work collaboratively with the Police, local authorities and other partner organisations to achieve the best outcomes for customers and communities.
- Maintain accurate case records and produce clear, concise reports.
- Keep up to date with relevant legislation, case law and best practice relating to anti-social behaviour.
