• Health & Safety: Ensure all safety protocols are adhered to while performing both driving and manual loading tasks.
• Customer Service: Maintain a professional and helpful attitude while interacting with residents and businesses.

• A valid Class 2 (C) Driver's Licence with at least 2 years of driving experience.
• CPC and tachograph card are required.
• Ability to perform physical work and assist with refuse loading when necessary.
• A flexible and team-oriented attitude, with a willingness to alternate between driving and loading duties.
• Previous experience in refuse collection or similar manual work is beneficial but not essential.

Why Join Us?

• Immediate start with a competitive pay rate of £13.93 per hour, including opportunities for rate increases with time served.
• Work as part of a supportive team with full training provided.
• Enjoy day shifts (Monday to Friday, 6am - 2:30pm), offering a great work-life balance.
• Potential for career development and long-term opportunities within the Council.
