Communication may be in the form of telephone calls, written correspondence or in person. Due to the nature of this role the post holder will be required to handle all communication from difficult customers in a tactful and diplomatic manner.
You will also be the 'eyes and ears' of the Council, reporting other matters to the relevant departments on information that you may receive from the Environmental Officers as they carry out patrols. You will liaise with members of the public to give advice and guidance on relevant matters ensuring that the Council's customer care policy is adhered to at all times.
You will be required to conduct interviews in accordance with the Codes of Practice issued under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 ("PACE"). You should have strong communication and customer care skills, have experience of working in a customer focussed environment, a level of computer skills/data entry and report writing is essential, especially with regard to preparing documents for court.
