The post involves working alongside a range of partnership agencies in order to make contact with young people and Young people engaged in anti-social behaviour, in areas where this behaviour is identified as a problem. The post holder will respond swiftly to intelligence relating to youth anti-social behaviour and disorder by working in areas recognised as ‘hot spots’ for youth anti-social behaviour.
