Hackney is one of Britain’s most exciting and fastest-changing boroughs. We have changed the reputation, not just of the Council, but of Hackney itself. The challenges that have arisen over the last few years have intensified the need for action and we are determined to rebuild Hackney for, and with, our diverse communities. Hackney Parking Services are often leading the way in the parking industry with the main focus on best practices and performance. Hackney Council has managed to be the number one borough in Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) appeals for two years running. Hackney was one of the first Councils in the country to implement School Streets and Ultra Low Emission Zones – all of which are enforced by the parking enforcement team.

Recently, the Council has brought in-house the parking enforcement operations after over two decades of the service being outsourced. An amazing opportunity has arisen to recruit into brand new positions that will be pivotal in creation, delivery and implementation of the newly insourced parking enforcement service. In this challenging and rewarding role, you will have the necessary communication and networking skills to work directly with residents and key partnering services.

Your “can do” ethos, unparalleled organisational skills, problem solving abilities and exceptional skills in dealing with conflict will empower you to manage a varied caseload, and collaborate with others to address support needs and achieve positive outcomes.

You will have demonstrable experience of working in an agile context and the ability to work routinely from back-office CCTV control rooms in manual and unattended ANPR CCTV processing. This work requires regular attendance in the office and has limited capacity for remote working.

This will also include driving the mobile CCTV van across all of Hackney to enforce School Streets, prohibition of motor vehicles and other restrictions as required by the business. Day to day you will undertake the statutory duties of Civil Enforcement Officer under the Traffic Management Act 2004 in enforcing moving traffic, bus lanes and parking contraventions via CCTV.

Processing relevant administrative functions in relation to CCTV team such as processing of CCTV scheme permits and logs on the performance of such schemes.

Previous experience of parking enforcement is not mandatory as full training will be provided on the job.

You will be required to successfully pass security vetting through DBS checks level to be considered for this post.
