Harborough District Council’s vision is to work with communities in a vibrant, safe and prosperous district and to bring the best opportunities to all.

We are seeking highly motivated individuals with great communication skills and the ability to deal calmly and professionally with sometimes difficult and sensitive situations.

As a Civil Enforcement Officers, you are the eyes and ears of the local community, patrolling areas, providing advice to residents, and members of the public, whist enforcing road traffic orders and issuing Parking Charge Notices to vehicles which contravene the regulations. You will play a significant role in reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality through the enforcement of parking restrictions.

Technological skills would also be an advantage, as this role requires the use of a handheld device to log and maintain accurate data.

Your working week will include some Saturday, Sunday and early evening working. There will be an enhanced rate for working Sunday. There will be some opportunities for overtime.

Full training will be given so previous experience in a similar role is not essential.

Applicants for the role will be subject to a standard DBS check.
