Neighbourhood Officer
The cleanliness, safety and quality of our streets continues to be the biggest influence that the Council has on residents’ everyday quality of life. Our challenge is to continue to improve services in public realm, support growth and contribute to the savings targets demanded by reductions in central government funding. The Neighbourhoods Directorate takes a universal view of our street scene; ensuring that issues and services such as street cleansing, waste, enviro-crime, noise, anti-social behaviour and grounds maintenance are dealt with in a comprehensive, common sense and resident-friendly manner.
You will champion your Neighbourhood Ward overseeing a range of issues including street cleansing, refuse and recycling collection services to ensure local residents’ needs are met.
You will have a can do attitude and be able to achieve results using your skills, knowledge and experience of working in a multi-disciplined, community focused environment.
You work closely with ward councillors, communities and partners to help improve the quality of life of local residents and ensure that the Council continues to deliver quality services.
You will undertake enforcement and compliance activities relating to enviro-crime, noise, nuisance, waste management/street cleansing, grounds maintenance/trees as part of a rota including week days, evenings and weekends.
Officers will be based at either Leyton or Leytonstone Library.
