Plymouth is an exciting vibrant waterfront city
with access to areas of outstanding natural beauty.
The Environmental Protection team is currently
expanding and we are recruiting to a number of positions in the Environmental
Protection team.
The team is busy, with high workloads but is
rewarding in that it makes a positive contribution to the local environment.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for these
staff to assist in a council priority of keeping streets and open spaces clean.
We are looking for team members who are
passionate about our city, and relish the opportunity to support our residents,
can work independently but also be part of a wider team with good interpersonal
and written communicative skills.
Officers will be expected to patrol areas of the
city including parks and open spaces to gather evidence of environmental
offences. Some daytime weekend working will be required on a rota basis.
Activities include investigations and
observations of littering, fly tipping and other environmental crimes including
dog control. Officers will be expected to take relevant enforcement action
including issuing of Fixed Penalty Notices.
Officers will need excellent communication
skills, good attention to detail to record facts accurately and may be required
on occasions to attend court and give evidence.
Officers will be expected to contribute to the
rota with responsibility for collecting stray dogs. Appropriate training will
be given for the post holder but if you are passionate about helping keep our
streets clean and tackling behaviours of littering or other environmental crime
then this is the job for you!
This role is not suitable for flexible working
subject to the needs of the service for the permanent
roles.
