The Vacancy
Here at NCHA, we have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly and supportive Community Safety team as a Community Safety Assistant.
Our team plays a vital role in helping our customers feel safe in their homes and communities by responding to reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB), investigating incidents, and taking appropriate action where tenancy breaches occur.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you will act as a key point of contact, supporting investigations and ensuring reports are assessed, prioritised, and progressed appropriately.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Community Safety Assistant, your responsibilities will include:
- Acting as the first point of contact for all ASB reports via phone, email, web and referrals
- Triaging and assessing incoming reports, deciding whether they meet the threshold for ASB case management
- Logging and managing cases within the React ASB system in line with policy and procedure
- Allocating cases to the most appropriate officer based on workload and case factors
- Communicating with customers, managing sensitive conversations, and explaining outcomes where cases do not meet criteria
- Carrying out initial risk assessments and identifying harm levels for complainants
- Supporting investigations by:
- Contacting complainants and providing updates
- Arranging appointments
- Uploading and managing evidence
- Making referrals to partner agencies
- Managing low-level ASB cases from start to closure, including applying appropriate actions or sanctions
- CCTV and evidence handling
- Managing requests for CCTV footage from internal and external stakeholders
- Interrogating systems to locate and download footage
- Sharing evidence securely with partners (e.g. police)
- Preparing witness statements and attending court where required
