Team Leader - Compliance x2

Team Leader - Compliance x2

Fixed-term till February 2023

Waihōpai Invercargill is New Zealand's southernmost city and the heart and hub of Southland.

We're known for our lush green spaces like Queens Park, our long summer daylight hours and our local legend Burt Munro.

Our city has character, charm and a laidback atmosphere. There's outstanding nature reserves, Ōreti Beach, the Waihōpai River, a lively restaurant scene and a sensible gridded layout with wide streets and a 10-minute drive to work.

We are in a chapter of immense growth, building a vibrant city centre and reinvigorating our culture and spaces, and this is an exciting time to join a Council that is focused on the future of our people and our city.

We're looking for two (2) experienced Team Leaders to join our Compliance team on a fixed-term basis until February 2023 - one role is Team Leader (Animal Control) and the other role is Team Leader (Parking and Environmental Compliance). In these busy and varied Team Leader roles, you will work closely with our community in the day to day delivery of these services and you will be responsible for ensuring their outstanding delivery.

Leading and mentoring your own team, you will provide support and advice on implementing legislation, bylaws and standards while providing outstanding service to all of our customers and community. Working alongside the team, you won't be afraid to get your hands dirty!

You will have experience working collaboratively with different community groups and be confident in developing community programmes and initiatives.

Working in a challenging Compliance environment, your proven investigation skills will be crucial, as will your ability to understand and follow legal and organisational processes.

To be successful in this role you will have:

• Proven experience developing and maintaining strong relationships with the community
• Excellent communication skills both verbal and written, including the ability to write reports
• Demonstrated investigatory skills
• Experience working within a set budget to achieve your department's key performance indicators
• Team leader experience would be an advantage, but more important is your ability to motivate, lead and coach others
• Proven ability to work through emotionally charged situations

A background in enforcing legislation is preferred but if you have worked within a quality management system, have proven customer service skills and you are prepared to undergo training in enforcement and legislation interpretation we would still like to hear from you.

ICC is an organisation with a positive culture, and you will contribute and cultivate this. You will bring a strong pragmatic and good service attitude to the role along with the ability to build and sustain strong relationships.

We are looking for highly motivated leaders who are well organised and committed to providing excellent services. If this sounds like a career you can see yourself sinking your teeth into then apply now! Please indicate which role you are applying for in your application letter.
