London, United Kingdom Southwark Council Full time

Be the Strategic Leader to Tackle Enviro-Crime in Southwark


Southwark is a borough on the move. As the borough grows and changes, so too does the challenge of maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming environments for our communities. One of our most pressing challenges is enviro-crime, and we are seeking a proactive, results-driven Team Leader to take the helm in addressing this crucial issue.


You’ll lead our Environmental Enforcement Team, a group of dedicated officers committed to keeping Southwark’s streets clean and safe. Your role will be pivotal in tackling a variety of environmental crimes, including fly-tipping, graffiti, and illegal waste management. Fly-tipping, in particular, has risen across the borough, and a significant portion of the team's resources is dedicated to combating this growing problem.


As the lead for the team, you’ll be responsible for the planning and allocation of resources, setting the direction, and ensuring the team is focused on delivering high-impact, sustainable outcomes. Your work will help improve the borough’s NI195 graffiti score, coordinate with waste management services, and enhance the effectiveness of our enforcement actions across Regulatory Services.


Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and Strategies’: Drive the strategic direction of the team, ensuring that operational resources are used efficiently to combat enviro-crime.

• Collaboration: Work closely with Council services, local businesses, residents, and external partners like Tenant Resident Associations, the Police, and BIDs (Business Improvement Districts) such as Better Bankside and We Are Waterloo.

• Educational and Enforcement Strategy: Combine enforcement with education, aiming to change behaviours and reduce instances of enviro-crime.

• Improve Council Targets: Contribute to improving Southwark's NI195 score, which measures visible graffiti, and support the Waste team in tackling fly-tipping hotspots.

• Income Generation: Explore opportunities for income generation while delivering critical services and reviewing the possibility of outsourcing low-level tasks.


What We're Looking For:


About You:


• Leadership & Planning: Proven experience in leading, developing, and monitoring the performance of staff and teams, setting operational and strategic priorities, and delivering results in time-sensitive environments.

• Partnership Skills: Strong ability to build effective partnerships across Council departments, businesses, and the community.

• Knowledge & Experience: A relevant degree in an appropriate discipline or an equivalent academic or professional qualification. Current or recent experience in environmental crime.

• Problem-Solving Mindset: A focus on developing sustainable solutions to reduce enviro-crime across the borough. Expertise in applying and interpreting research methodology and advanced methods of statistical analysis, with the ability to present complex statistical information to diverse audiences.


Why Join Us?

At Southwark Council, you’ll be part of a dynamic team working to make a tangible impact on the community. We offer a supportive work environment and the chance to play a key role in shaping the future of one of London’s most diverse and vibrant boroughs. As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to lead innovative solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives.
