You’ll be trusted to make on-the-spot decisions to maintain safety, service quality and efficiency in a dynamic, public-facing environment.
The role includes working Good Friday and eight Saturdays per year following bank holidays, to support service recovery.
What you will be doing:
<ul>
<li>Safely driving and operating a specialist refuse collection HGV across a wide range of environments, including residential streets, town centres and rural roads.</li>
<li>Carrying out daily and ad-hoc vehicle safety checks and reporting defects promptly.</li>

Why work with us?
We’re proud to be a high-performing local authority delivering essential services that residents rely on every day. You’ll be joining a professional and supportive team where safety, teamwork and respect are at the heart of everything we do.
We operate a well-established team task-and-finish working pattern, with standard hours of 07:00 to 15:00, Monday to Friday. This provides consistent working hours and, where work is completed safely and to the required standard, the opportunity to finish earlier while receiving normal pay. You’ll be doing meaningful, practical work that makes a real difference to the community every single day. No two rounds are the same, and the role offers variety, responsibility and job satisfaction.
We are one of the few local government authorities to hold Platinum Investors in People accreditation, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting and developing our workforce.
What’s in it for you?
<ul>
<li>37 hour working week</li>
