About the Role
Enfield Council is seeking a Community Manager to join the Community Partnership Team, a key part of delivering a community-centric culture focused on supporting independence and enhancing life chances while maintaining safe, sustainable, and quality homes and estates. The Community Manager will deliver bespoke housing and tenancy management services, working closely with vulnerable households and communities to provide tailored support for tenancy sustainment, property management, and estate upkeep.
The role involves working with partners across the council and community to resolve complex challenges, reduce rent arrears and anti-social behaviour, facilitate access to healthcare and community resources, and combat social isolation. The postholder will carry out block and estate inspections to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

Duties include late-night operations, joint police activities, patrols with residents, and monitoring empty properties with known risks. The role demands high physical confidence, situational awareness, and the ability to safely engage in volatile situations while maintaining strong partnership working with council and police colleagues.
There are no line-management or supervisory duties attached to this role.
