We are Bristow & Sutor, a Leading UK Debt Recovery Enforcement Group and proud partner to Transport for London. We've been growing for 40 years and we're passionate about developing our people, investing in technology and setting industry standards for ethical conduct.


Due to ongoing expansion we are excited to recruit a number of new Trainee Enforcement Agents in the area. All successful candidates will receive exceptional training and support through our Enforcement Training Academy, helping you to become fully skilled and certificated.


Debt Collection is a tightly regulated industry with strong ethical standards and every visit you make is legally approved by a Judge.

Position

------------

Let us dispel some common myths...

"You need to be tough" - actually, you need to be adaptable. The people you'll help often feel overwhelmed by their debt, you'll help them make smarter choices about their situation so they don't get into more trouble "It's a man's job" - actually, some of our most successful agents are women. Our best Enforcement Agents are flexible communicators and know how to connect with people from all walks of life "You have to bully people" - quite the opposite. The people you help can go to court if they don't tackle their debt and a judge has given you legal powers to recover the debt on the local authority's behalf. Your job is to help them understand the process they're in and what will happen if they don't take action "It's dangerous" - whilst you will encounter emotionally charged situations, your safety is paramount. You receive extensive ongoing training, safety equipment, body cameras and your duty is to remove yourself from any situation you feel is unsafe "It's a ruthless job" - The truth is that when you meet vulnerable people who really can't pay, which does happen, there are different options available to help them. Your job is to make those judgements and to treat them with the respect and dignity you'd want for yourself

What might a typical week look like for you?

Visiting debtor's properties to arrange payment of outstanding debts Setting up and agreeing repayment arrangements Assisting debtors in completing questionnaires Taking control of goods - where required Removing goods - where necessary Making enquiries with neighbours if debtors have moved or left a property Compiling short reports about your visit, along with any necessary paperwork Assessing debtor vulnerability and signposting them to support services - if required Liaising with office-based colleagues regarding active cases Working by yourself, often in different geographical areas each day Handling cash payments - where required
