Community Safety Manager

The Vacancy

HELPING COMMUNITIES FEEL HEARD, REASSURED AND CONFIDENT

At Futures, our homes and communities matter because of the people who live in them. We want our customers to feel heard, reassured and confident in the places they call home.

We're looking for a Community Safety Manager to join Futures and lead our specialist service within the wider Communities Team. If you're passionate about creating safer places, guiding people through difficult situations and leading services that make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with strong housing knowledge, experience of anti-social behaviour and hate crime management, and the confidence to lead a team handling complex, sensitive and high impact work.

You'll lead our Community Safety Team day to day, providing direction on ASB, hate crime, domestic abuse and safeguarding. You'll make sure cases are managed with care, risk is understood, legal tools are used appropriately and customers get the right help at the right time.

Working closely with colleagues, external partners and multi-agency forums such as MAPPA, MARAC and Community Safety Partnerships, you'll help deliver coordinated action that puts victims' needs at the heart of our work, tackles unacceptable behaviour and helps communities feel reassured.

You'll bring excellent knowledge of housing law and legislation relating to ASB, strong people management skills and the ability to solve problems fairly and logically. You'll also be confident using data, maintaining accurate records, managing performance and working with partners to achieve positive outcomes.

A few key things you'll be doing:
  • Lead the Community Safety Team, including performance, staffing, risk and complex cases.
  • Provide direction on ASB, hate crime and domestic abuse case management, including early intervention and legal action where needed.
  • Review ASB cases, customer risk and team performance using a harm based approach.
  • Build trusted partnerships with external agencies, helping coordinate responses through forums such as MAPPA, MARAC and Community Safety Partnerships.
  • Respond to safeguarding and domestic abuse concerns, making sure issues are escalated swiftly and sensitively.
  • Use feedback, complaints learning and performance data to improve services and report progress clearly.
Sounds like me, so what are you offering?

If you're successful, you'll be joining a supportive organisation with a great culture and a real commitment to doing things well. We offer competitive benefits, opportunities to grow and develop, and the chance to lead work that helps communities become more resilient, connected and confident.

This role is 37 hours per week, paid monthly. You'll also get 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and concessionary days at Christmas, along with private healthcare options, discount schemes and a strong focus on health and wellbeing.

We've been awarded the coveted Investor in People Platinum award, the highest level of IiP accreditation, recognising organisations that are passionate about helping colleagues feel supported, valued and able to do their best.
