The Role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for four Safe Living Assistants to join the Safe Living Team, who investigate and support customers through incidents of antisocial behaviour.
You will be responsible for delivering a quality service, efficiently and effectively, contacting and advising internal and external customers and providing administrative support to Safe Living Officers and the Safe Living service. You will play a key role in being the first point of contact for customers suffering antisocial behaviour and will work collaboratively with colleagues across the business to ensure a seamless service.
The Person:
You will have experience of working in a fast-paced environment, adopting a problem-solving approach and maintaining enthusiasm and determination under pressure. The role requires you to be customer focused, with excellent communication skills and suitability to work with a vulnerable client group. It is important that you understand the customers needs and expectations and utilise techniques to engage positively with customers reporting antisocial behaviour.
You will need to be able to work effectively as part of a team, showing flexibility, but also be self-motivated and demonstrate an ability to prioritise your own workload. The ability to maintain accurate and detailed records is integral to this role.
This role is ideal for someone who is highly motivated and passionate about providing excellent customer service.
