  • Stonewater
  • Fulltime
  • Email

Here at Stonewater, we are seeking Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Caseworkers – someone to take ownership of casework from start to finish of the process ensuring our ASB Customer Commitments are understood and delivered. This is an exciting new role within our Customer Experience (CX) directorate. The role is predominantly remote, so your location isn’t the most important thing to us. However, we’re particularly keen to recruit to support our operational delivery in the following areas:




  • Milton Keynes and Thames Valley region

  • Derby/Nottingham

  • Exeter/West Somerset

  • Bristol/Somerset/Wiltshire

  • West Midlands and Herefordshire

  • Leicestershire

  • Yorkshire



You’ll provide customers with a customer journey that is efficient in terms of delivering resolution and next steps, showing sophisticated influencing and negotiation skills and prepare and present cases at court to an excellent standard. You’ll be responsive to changing customer needs and be human by being compassionate, managing challenging conversations with customers who may be experiencing hate crime, domestic abuse, current and past trauma, complex financial issues and a range of complex experiences.



Collaboration with our partners in the Police, Local Authority, Mental Health Services; as well as our external mediation and legal services partners is essential to the success of the role.



Legal action is often a last resort in our ASB casework, and we always look to find creative solutions to resolve our cases. In the cases where legal action is deemed proportionate, you’ll be required to prepare and present legal cases in court. So, experience of this is ideal. You’ll also be working closely with our external legal services partners to ensure we get the right outcomes.



We will, however, be giving comprehensive training to ensure that all our ASB Caseworkers are equipped to get the best possible results for our customers. You’ll also be required to travel to court hearings as part of your role as well as carry out other visits to our customers and communities when required. As part of a national team, you’ll also be asked to take part in our duty processes to ensure we effectively triage our cases.



Using data and behavioural insights to propose service innovations and be an active part of delivering change, you’ll be committed to developing your professional knowledge and expertise in terms of ASB in critical specialist areas and you’ll build customer confidence in digital channels and demonstrate your own personal commitment to using new digital tools for delivering an excellent customer service.



The ideal candidate will have:




  • Experience of managing anti-social behaviour cases.

  • Experience of developing and working in partnership with external stakeholders.

  • Understanding of the law and relevant legislation around managing housing, anti-social behaviour and safeguarding.

  • Experience of using the Harm based approach to ASB triage.

  • Experience of safeguarding and managing cases involving people who may have a range of specialist and complex needs.

  • An outstanding high level of communication skills demonstrating an ability to positively influence and negotiate outcomes.

  • Skills in adopting new digital solutions and innovations and experience of delivering change.

  • Experience of partnership working to meet the needs of customers, complex multi-agency relationships.

  • Experience of preparing complex case files for court and presenting cases in the civil or criminal courts

  • Ability to effectively problem-solve and find innovative solutions for customers

  • Ability to prioritise and manage a complex case load

  • Experience of using mediation or conflict resolution services



Appointment to this role will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check, satisfactory references and possession of a valid Right to Work document.
