COUNCIL WARDENS Band 6: £18,672 - £20,541 pa 10 x 37 hours per week To be based at various sites across the district
The Code of Practice on the English language requirement for public sector workers, Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 requires that Councils ensure that all candidates applying for customer facing posts must be assessed in order to establish their fluency in English.
The criteria under special knowledge and experience on the job profile which is shown in this advert outlines what level of fluency you will be expected to demonstrate. Therefore, it is essential that you provide examples in your application.
Practical people interested in making a real difference in Bradford’s neighbourhoods needed……
Come and train as a Council Warden and then use your skills to improve residents’ quality of life in our neighbourhoods.
You’ll act as an ambassador for the Council and will clearly set out our expectations of all our citizens – that will mean educating, persuading, negotiating and demonstrating the best way.
Working on your patch alongside residents, businesses, schools, voluntary groups, police and other partners, you’ll need all your wits to problem solve the day to day issues which crop up on the streets throughout our district. This could include supporting a group of residents to organise a community clean up, undertaking educational work with school children and businesses and helping to organise fun days or other events.
Dealing with environmental and parking issues such as rubbish in gardens, investigating fly tipping and tackling inconsiderate and dangerous parking will also be a key part of your role. Following formal training and shadowing on patrol, you’ll be expected to issue tickets/fines for parking contraventions and for littering and dog fouling.
As a result of your work your patch will look better and residents will be better connected to the Council and each other.
You’ll need to be happy patrolling your patch in all weathers.
Applicants will need the literacy skills to issue tickets for civil and environmental offences and to complete the relevant documents, however no formal qualifications are required.
We’re also keen to hear from people who are fluent in the Eastern European or Asian languages spoken in our district.
A Disclosure and Barring Service check will be undertaken for this post.
Please note that you will need to be available on Thursday 14th June as part of the selection process.
