Environmental Enforcement Officer

**About us**

Environmental Crime in the Community is something that we must all work together on to reduce. The role of an Environmental Enforcement Officer will see you undertaking a range of different activities within the local community to address this problem.

District Enforcement work closely with Local Authorities and currently have contracts across the Country. Officers are given designated powers to patrol and issue Fixed Penalty Notices where specific anti-social offences have been directly witnessed. You will be asked to patrol local areas and, in the case of witnessing an environmental offence such as littering or dog fouling, you will be required to issue Fixed Penalty Notices to the offenders.

Part of your role will also be to engage and educate young people, and the wider population on Environmental Crime and steps that they can take to contribute to an improvement in their areas.

This is a very interesting and challenging role, and tackling Environmental Crime does make a difference. As representatives of both the Company and the Local Authority, you will need to be highly self-motivated and should have a GCSE in Maths and English (or equivalent NVQ - key skills).

Law enforcement or similar experience useful but not essential as full training will be provided.
