ASB Officer

This is a Part Time 18.5 hour Post

Sandwell Council is extending and strengthening its borough-wide Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Service as part of a significant investment to deliver a single front door and structured triage model.

We are recruiting permanent ASB Officers to join a dedicated borough-wide team responsible for managing ASB cases from first report through to resolution. This is an opportunity to be part of a redesigned service focused on early intervention, robust enforcement where required, and improving outcomes for victims and communities.

You will hold and progress a mixed caseload that includes both community/location-based ASB and personal/victim-focused cases. You will work in a trauma-informed, victim-centred way, ensuring proportionate action is taken to reduce harm and prevent escalation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Complete proportionate risk assessments and develop safety and reassurance plans
• Manage cases end-to-end, from intake through to closure
• Gather evidence, take statements and seek subject representations
• Deliver early interventions, restorative approaches and tenancy remedies
• Prepare legal bundles and attend court where required
• Contribute to Borough and Town Tasking, hotspot activity and visible outcomes
• Work closely with Police, Registered Providers and other partners
• Maintain accurate and defensible case records in line with statutory guidance

Essential requirements for the role:

• Current or recent experience in Anti-Social Behaviour, Community Safety, Housing or Neighbourhood Management
• Experience managing a mixed caseload from report to resolution, including risk assessment, early intervention and proportionate enforcement
• Working knowledge of ASB legislation and statutory guidance, including safeguarding responsibilities and the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014
• Ability to gather evidence, take statements and prepare clear, defensible case records, including legal documentation where required
• Strong communication and decision-making skills, with the ability to engage confidently with victims, subjects, partners and Elected Members

This is a high-profile role supporting a service managing complex community harm, safeguarding risk and statutory responsibilities. The successful candidate will be analytical, accountable and confident in driving continuous improvement.
