The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) is set in the wider county of Berkshire, one of the most economically productive and innovative areas of the country. The borough council – a unitary authority - takes pride in its exceptional team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to the community. RBWM is a unique borough, with huge opportunity given its proximity to London and expanding business sectors, as well as being a major cultural and tourism area which includes international attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse.
Given our Royal connections, the eyes of the world are often on us and we continue to rise to the challenge.
This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic Community Warden to join our Community Safety team.
The Role:
We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated person to operate within our re-envisaged Community Warden Team.

Supporting vulnerable individuals with empathy and professionalism, ensuring they can access the right help.
Contributing to community projects and initiatives that strengthen trust, cohesion and resilience.
Representing the service with confidence and clarity at local meetings, events and engagement activities.
Playing an active part in a supportive, multi‑agency team committed to reducing harm and improving wellbeing.
What we are looking for:
You will need to be a proven problem solver, able to compile accurate reports, collate evidence and manage a caseload with relevant agencies and key stakeholders.
You will be required to carry out wide range of both support and enforcement duties.
You will be working in a team environment following a shift pattern that includes evenings and occasional weekends.
You will need to be fit, alert, have excellent communication and observational skills, enjoy meeting people, and relish working outdoors.
A full driving licence and use of a car is required for the post.
What we offer:
32 days annual leave
Generous Local Government Pension scheme includes life cover (3 times of annual salary); and an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) scheme to enhance your pension provision.
Free employee parking close to the offices.
