Our Culture and Values:

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.
