About the Role
We’re looking for a proactive and self-motivated Area Manager to join a national crime prevention organisation delivering Safer Parking initiatives across the UK.
This is a highly flexible, home-based role offering full autonomy over your working day. You’ll manage your own diary, plan site visits, and build relationships with stakeholders across North London, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Due to the travel involved, you’ll need to be based within one of these areas.
You’ll play a key role in supporting safer communities by working with car park operators and stakeholders to improve safety, reduce crime, and promote best practice.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Acting as an ambassador for Safer Parking initiatives across your region
- Building strong relationships with existing members and supporting new business growth
- Visiting car parks and advising on practical crime prevention improvements
- Supporting sites to meet and maintain accreditation standards
- Managing audits, reporting, and general operational delivery within your area
- Delivering presentations and attending local events to promote safer parking schemes
- Handling enquiries and resolving complaints in a professional and timely manner
- Keeping accurate records and managing activity through internal systems
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need direct experience auditing car parks — but you must be confident assessing environments and identifying crime prevention improvements.
We’re particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:
- Experience in crime prevention, community safety, security, or similar fields
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Confidence working independently and managing your own workload
- Excellent organisational and diary management skills
- Ability to engage with a wide range of stakeholders
- Experience dealing with compliance, auditing, or advisory work (or transferable skills)
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
Additional requirements:
- Full UK driving licence
- Willingness to travel regularly across the region (occasional overnight stays may be required)
Why Join?
- Flexible, autonomous role – manage your own schedule and workload
- Opportunity to make a real impact on community safety
- Work with a wide range of partners across public and private sectors
- Supportive and collaborative team environment
- Company car provided
