About the role:
Horsham District Council is looking for a Civil Enforcement Officer to join our highly successful Parking Services team.
As Civil Enforcement Officer you will play an important role in keeping our roads safe and ensuring that efficient traffic flows are maintained across Horsham District. You will take care of car parking provisions, enforce parking zones, provide school safety patrols and manage the technology that helps keep our streets free-flowing and our economy thriving. Patrols are both on foot and mobile, working closely with communities to deliver a high-quality service.
The role of a Civil Enforcement Officer is a challenging but rewarding role and is suitable for those with enthusiasm for community engagement and a genuine passion for improving the neighbourhoods in which they work. This role is ideal for those who wish to develop their skills for a career in Parking Services or to obtain relevant experience for careers in other enforcement roles, such as the police service.
You will liaise closely with other agencies and council departments to provide holistic solutions to problems in our neighbourhoods. The role provides variety, builds upon a strong teamwork ethic and can deliver job satisfaction and fulfilment. We will support you every step of the way and can provide opportunities for you to develop yourself and reach your true potential.
The role operates on a shift basis working 5 days over the 7-day week including evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays. Rosters include two Saturdays and one Sunday per month.

About you:
To succeed as Civil Enforcement Officer, you must hold a current manual driving licence for a minimum of 2 years (vehicles are provided). You will enjoy working with people, be friendly, polite, and willing to offer support, advice and assistance to colleagues and customers. Good numeracy and literacy skills are required, together with good observation and accuracy abilities. Basic computer skills would be an advantage, as you will be using a hand-held device daily.
To undertake the role, you will need a level 2 qualification; this is something that we are willing to provide to the right candidate. A full uniform will be provided including footwear, along with all essential equipment as required.
