The Role

Neighbourhood Watch Content Coordinator – (fixed term until March 2021)

Working closely with the Community Safety Team and partners, you will fulfil a key role in promoting the benefits of OWL and DISC secure platforms as an integral part of our Neighbourhood Watch and crime reduction initiatives.

Working flexibly and based mainly in our Twickenham office, you will need an excellent eye for detail, a passion for good communication and great time management skills as you provide vital administrative support and evaluate the OWL and DISC performance data for our senior management team.

You will also be required to support the wider business functions of the team where relevant to achieve our outcomes and targets and will report directly to the Community safety Manager.

For an informal discussion please contact Daryl Edmunds, Neighbourhoods and Criminal Justice Manager on 020 8871 7037 or 07572864795.
