• Partner with local colleagues, statutory services, and third-sector agencies to deliver support for residents.
• Identify safeguarding cases and refer appropriately.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders to strengthen community resilience.
• Lead legal case preparation, including gathering evidence, taking witness statements, and attending court as Anchor’s lead witness.
• Draft and issue Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, legal warning letters, and case documentation for legal action.
