View Vacancy -- Streetcare Enforcement Warden

The Council has agreed to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to introduce dog controls across the County Borough.

A PSPO will allow the Council to introduce a range of reasonable and proportionate restrictions on the use of publicly accessible land. This will enable the Council to better control the harmful activities of irresponsible dog owners whilst enabling responsible dog owners to continue to exercise their dogs without undue restrictions.

The implementation and monitoring of the PSPO will require the employment of additional Enforcement Wardens.

The role will require undertaking routine patrols of open spaces (parks, sports pitches, cemeteries, streets, etc) covering early mornings, evenings and peak weekend periods when dog walking is most commonly undertaken.

The main duties of this key role will be :-

• To engage with the public to raise awareness of the PSPO and their obligations when walking their dog
• To patrol common open space amenities (parks, play areas, sports pitches, cemeteries, etc) on a shift pattern basis
• To issue fixed penalty notices (FPN’s) to the public for any offences committed under the PSPO
