1 out of 4 weeks - 2 days midweek plus Friday and Saturday
26 days annual leave per year rising to 31 after 5 years service

Our role is to provide a quality and efficient refuse collection service to the residents of our borough including all recycling collection activities. Whilst the role reaps the benefits mentioned above it is stop-start driving, where you must be very aware of your surroundings, as working often in tight spaces/areas.

Duties to include but not limited to: • Driving and loading the Refuse Collection Vehicle. • Supervising duties and responsible for the crew. • Working as part of a team. • Ensuring that the highest level of customer care is maintained.
