7am start with collective task and finish in operation.
3 out of 4 weeks Monday – Thursday
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. You will be required to manoeuvre the vehicle around other parked vehicles safely andcautiously, being aware of pedestrians and members of the public.

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.

It is an essential requirement of this role that you have a Class 2 HGV driving licence and a valid CPC Driver Qualification card.
