Trainee Enforcement Agent – Portsmouth | Full Training, Company Car, £45–£60k OTE

No experience needed. We’ll train you, certify you to City & Guilds standard, and put you in a company car. If you can stay calm and have a straight, grown-up conversation, this is a career — not just a job.

Our client is a major national enforcement and recovery group, and they’ve just launched a 12-week paid Academy that turns motivated people into qualified Resolution Specialists (Enforcement Agents). You start on a £25,000 base, with realistic on-target earnings of £45,000–£60,000 once you’re certified — and the qualification is yours to keep.

This isn’t bailiff work the way most people picture it. It’s a regulated, professional, field-based role. Most days you’re out on a managed Portsmouth / Hampshire patch, visiting properties and resolving cases on behalf of local councils — usually unpaid council tax. The job is mostly conversation and judgement, with the paperwork around it.

What you’ll be doing

* Working a local Portsmouth / Hampshire patch, visiting addresses to engage with people on warrants issued by local councils

* Resolving cases through calm, professional conversation and de-escalation

* Managing your own caseload and diary independently, backed by an experienced enforcement manager

* Recording outcomes and submitting accurate reports on the client’s systems

* Working within the relevant legislation and the company’s conduct standards

This could suit you if you’ve worked in

* Customer service, complaints or a contact centre — you already know how to de-escalate

* Retail or hospitality (duty manager, supervisor, branch manager) — you handle difficult situations every shift

* The forces, police, PCSO, prison or security — your people skills transfer straight across

* Collections, debt recovery, civil enforcement or debt advice — this is your field-based step up

* Self-employed driving, courier, delivery or taxi work — same independence, but with a salary, a car and a career

What you need

* A full UK manual driving licence (essential)

* The right to work in the UK

* Willingness to pass DBS and County Court Judgment checks

* To be comfortable with shift patterns roughly between 6am and 9pm, and the odd weekend

* The right temperament — calm, professional, empathetic and resilient

What’s on offer

* £25,000 base + uncapped OTE of £45,000–£60,000

* Company vehicle

* 12-week paid Academy training programme

* City & Guilds Assured certification — yours to keep

* Clear progression to Senior Resolution Specialist for top performers

* A permanent role with a 5,000+ employee national group
