CommUNITY Barnet has provided the co-ordination and secretariat for Barnet’s Community Safety Engagement Group (CSEG) for some years. CSEG exist in all London Boroughs; founded by the MPA under statute, they were set up in the 1980s to improve police – community relations. As such they serve as one of the main mechanisms for local residents and communities to liaise directly and proactively with the local police and the council about community safety and crime.
The previous postholder left at the end of 2011. With changes anticipated to CSEG funding and other arrangements in the new financial year, we are now looking for temporary cover of this post to the end of March.
The CSEG Co-ordinator works directly to/with the CSEG steering committee, and serves as the CSEG main staff, carrying out all work necessary in implementing the CSEG’s activities and aims. In this, they are also the main CSEG representative.
The postholder will work as part of our engagement and communications team and report to the Head of Engagement; they will receive support from our senior management team in the areas of forward planning and external liaison.
The post requires the ability to work in the evening for meetings and activities on a regular basis and to travel across the Borough.
The Community Safety Group (CSEG) is a well-established group with an active steering committee. It enjoys good working relationships with the community safety partnership both in terms of planning and on the ground; it works closely with other community groups and initiatives. It is currently one of the most active CSEGs in London.
The group has a range of activities and events planned for the January – March period. At the same time, it will expect to make an application for 2012-13 funding to the MPA, prepare for its AGM and steering committee/chair elections; the postholder will receive support from senior management in this tasks.
