The Council is in the process of recruiting a new Head of Housing and Community Safety.
The decision to create the new post was taken by the Council last June and interviews will take place in March.
Council Leader Gary Womersley said: "This Council is keen to strengthen the team within Services to Communities with a new Head of Service who will have an explicit remit to address anti-social behaviour. There are many issues including welfare reform, homelessness and anti-social behaviour which are of concern to local residents and we are responding to those concerns by bringing in a new senior manager to focus on these areas.
"Housing and community safety are key issues of importance to the public and it is considered imperative to appoint a Head of Service in response of these vital services."
