Job description

Is this role for me?

We have vacancies for Loaders. No previous experience is required.

The teams that collect waste and recycling from the side of the road play a vital role in protecting our local and global environment. If our teams stopped collecting waste for just one week, four thousand tonnes of waste would be left on the streets of Dorset.

This role can be hard work and messy, but if you value work-life balance, enjoy being outdoors, and want a job that keeps you fit, then consider working with us.

You will work 37 hours per week on a rota basis, covering early mornings, some weekends, and bank holidays. There is also an opportunity to work overtime.

A Range of Benefits Including

• Training and development opportunities, especially if you'd like to progress to become an HGV driver.
• Generous holiday entitlement: 27 days each year plus some bank holidays, increasing to 32 days after 5 years of service, with the option to buy additional leave.
• Time and a half of basic pay for any bank holiday work.
• Local Government Pension Scheme, including immediate life cover.
• Employee Wellbeing Service.
• Free health checks.
