Lead with purpose. Deliver safer communities.

Are you an experienced people leader with a passion for making a real difference to customers and communities?

We're looking for an Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Service Manager to lead a specialist team managing complex anti-social behaviour and community safety cases. This is an opportunity to shape service delivery, champion customer experience, and support vulnerable customers through some of the most challenging situations they may face. Based within the Customer Experience directorate, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering outstanding outcomes while helping to develop and evolve a modern, customer-focused service model.

You'll ideally bring:

• Experience leading, motivating and developing high-performing teams.
• Strong coaching and mentoring capability.
• A thorough understanding of housing, community safety and anti-social behaviour legislation and practice.
• Experience preparing complex ASB court bundles and presenting legal cases.
• Excellent stakeholder management and partnership-working skills.
• Experience using performance data, KPIs and SLAs to drive service delivery and continuous improvement.
• Strong commercial awareness, decision-making ability and problem-solving skills.

If you're passionate about customer experience, experienced in managing complex ASB services, and motivated by the opportunity to lead positive change, we'd love to hear from you.
