About the role:

* Responding to community queries and after-hours calls (on a rostered basis).
* Supporting legal proceedings through accurate documentation and attendance.
* Maintaining the City's animal management facility.
* Educating the community and promoting positive engagement.
* Patrolling public spaces and City assets to ensure community safety.
What you will bring to the role:
* Experience in regulatory enforcement, preferably as a Ranger or similar roles such as law enforcement, compliance and health and safety.
* ROCS 1 & 2 or equivalent qualifications.
* Certificate IV in Government Investigations (desirable).
* A good working knowledge of relevant legislation and legal procedures.
* Excellent communication, time management and conflict resolution skills.
* A customer-first mindset and ability to work autonomously and as part of a team.
