Job Description

Job description
Sheffield is one of the safest cities in the United Kingdom. Sheffield City Council believes that everybody should live in strong and connected neighbourhoods which they are happy to call home. To achieve this all residents and visitors to Sheffield should feel safe and secure and should not suffer from anti-social behaviour, nuisance, or harassment.



We are looking for an experienced, Anti-Social Behaviour professional to join our Anti-Social Behaviour Team.



The Anti-Social Behaviour Team works across Sheffield to tackle and prevent anti-social behaviour in all neighbourhoods. The team is part of the wider Safer Neighbourhood Service incorporating colleagues from Community Safety and Prevent as well as working closely with South Yorkshire Police.



The successful candidates will have extensive experience of investigating, managing and resolving urgent and complex anti-social behaviour issues. This may be in the fields of anti-social behaviour, tenancy enforcement, community safety, or law enforcement. This is an exciting opportunity to join and contribute to the development of the service.



A positive and enthusiastic outlook is essential as is the ability to communicate effectively with a diverse range of people, including people suffering the effects of anti-social behaviour, and those causing it. The postholder will need to be able to handle difficult situations.



The postholders will be responsible for investigating cases, supporting victims and witnesses, and working in partnership to find effective, long-term solutions to anti-social behaviour issues affecting communities. This will include taking legal enforcement actions (preparing legal cases, instructing solicitors, and attending court).



If you are committed to improving the lives of those affected by anti-social behaviour and have the drive and determination to find solutions to complex problems, then we'd like to hear from you.



We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.



It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.



Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.



Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.



We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.



If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.



Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026. Find out more on our Sheff news page.
