Roles That Matter
St Helens Borough Council is seeking two motivated Environmental Fly Tipping Wardens to join our Environmental Protection team. The opportunities are 12-month fixed-term.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in tackling environmental crime and improving the quality of the local environment across the borough. You will be at the forefront of investigating issues such as fly-tipping, waste offences and other environmental breaches, helping to protect communities and enhance neighbourhoods.
As a Regulatory Services Environmental Fly Tipping Warden, you will respond to complaints from the public, monitor the borough for environmental offences, and carry out investigations. You will gather and manage evidence, conduct interviews (including under caution where required), and take appropriate enforcement action, including the issuing of Community Protection and Fixed Penalty Notices.
You will also prepare case files for legal proceedings, represent the Council in court when necessary, and contribute to wider enforcement initiatives and educational work to promote compliance with environmental legislation.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and resilient individual with a good awareness of environmental issues, such as fly-tipping and waste crime, strong communication and customer service skills, and the ability to manage workloads and handle challenging situations. Experience in investigation, enforcement, and public engagement would be advantageous.
This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive officer looking to develop their experience in environmental enforcement and make a meaningful contribution to improving the borough for residents.
For more information, or to arrange an informal discussion, please get in touch with [email protected].
Employees can regularly work away from Council workspaces (including home or other locations), alongside required office-based working. The balance between remote and office-based working is determined at service level based on operational need, however, there has been a minimum specification that staff will work at least 2 days from an office-based location.
We reserve the right to close the advert early, with sufficient applications. Apply early to avoid disappointment.
