About you
To be successful, you'll be:
- Putting our customers at the heart of what you do, listening and then working with others to resolve anti-social behaviour, improve neighbourhoods and create places people can be proud to call home.
- Proactively working your networks, finding the right people who can help, whether it's public services, statutory agencies or the voluntary sector, and bringing people together to solve problems. Being that person who makes something happen.
- Challenging others where its right to do so, whether that's taking action against people who breach their tenancy or commit anti-social behaviour, or its simply something we've said we'll do, and we've not done it. It's doing the right thing, and not the easy thing.
