We’re looking for an Anti-Social Behaviour Officer to join our leading Anti-Social Behaviour service in the Housing team here at Southern Housing.
Reporting to the ASB Manager, you’ll deliver excellent service to residents affected by ASB. You’ll triage new ASB reports, assess situations, and create action plans to investigate, manage risks, and support those affected. You’ll manage a varied ASB caseload, investigate incidents, evaluate evidence, and take appropriate action, including legal remedies. You’ll also contribute to neighbourhood strategies to tackle ASB.
Principal duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Maintaining high standards of case management and support teams through supervision.
- Keeping meticulous records of all actions, discussions, and decisions.
This is a full-time opportunity, working 35 hours per week on a hybrid basis. The successful candidate will be based at our Muriel Matters House office in Hastings, with flexible hybrid working and an expectation of approximately two days per week in the office, as agreed with your manager. The role covers the East Sussex region, so you will be required to travel across the area to support customers and manage cases effectively.
