Our Culture and Values:
We like our staff to be proactive and innovative. Being customer focused and willing to maximise your potential at work are expected. We all work together to achieve the very best for our residents which sometimes means getting involved in projects and trying new tasks outside of your day to day job role. We love our staff to suggest new ideas and to have enthusiasm to try out new experiences.
The Job Role:
Rochford District Council is looking to appoint a positive, enthusiastic, and proactive individual to the exciting role of Neighbourhood Team Operative. This is a great opportunity to join our dedicated and hardworking Open Spaces Team. Being versatile and self-motivated is essential.
During your role, you will be striving to successfully execute grounds maintenance requests within our open spaces and on public highways with support from the Open Spaces Grounds Maintenance Team.
As a Neighbourhood Team Operative, you will be engaged in all aspects of Horticultural work including the use of tractors, heavy grass cutting machinery, tree, shrub and bedding planting, hedge cutting, renovation of sports pitches as well as assisting in the day to day challenges of grounds maintenance. It is essential for the successful candidate to undertake Health and Safety checks and Risk Assessments, and to be able to professionally communicate with people of all levels, from co-workers and contractors to residents.
It is also essential for a successful candidate to be able to undertake physical and demanding work in all weathers, of all seasons. Work within the Open Spaces Team can be challenging, however; this is outweighed by the sense of pride and the self-rewarding nature of working as a part of a team within the horticultural industry.
As a local authority, Customer Focus is very important to us and we would expect any successful candidate to act in the upmost professional of manner.
