The TLO role also involves advising on policy and assisting in the management of development projects to support the Gypsy and Traveller communities, including provision of assistance to enable access to services and entitlements.

- Work at a countywide level to contribute to development and project work with other agencies.
- Establish effective links and networks with all key partners to promote harmony including the Gypsy and Traveller Community.
- Represent the NTU in local, regional, and national forums as requested and keep abreast of new developments.
- To assist with the improvement and development of existing Permanent and Transit Gypsy Sites.
- To maintain clear factual records in connection with the duties of the NTU and to prepare reports, letters, statistics, and other correspondence with other local authorities.
- To ensure that reasonable care is always taken for the health, safety, and welfare of you and other persons and to comply with the policies and procedures relating to health and safety.
- To undertake any other duties commensurate with the grade and responsibilities of the job as directed by the Northants Travellers Unit Manager or nominee.

About you
- Experience of working with the Gypsy and Traveller community.
- Experience of the successful preparation of legal proceedings including unauthorised encampments and with Gypsies and Travellers.
- A clear awareness of the emerging National and Regional agenda facing the Gypsy and Traveller community.
- Understanding of the needs and lack of opportunities specifically in relation to the Gypsy and Traveller community.
- Experience of developing channels of communication and positive working relationships between Gypsies, Travellers, partner agencies, private, public, and voluntary organisations.
