This role offers the opportunity to join a talented, supportive, and welcoming team, along with a competitive salary and benefits of working for a public sector organization, including entry to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Angus Council is committed to flexible working, and equipment will be provided to support working from home. We seek applicants with a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and the ability to work collaboratively as a key team member.

The workload will be varied, challenging, and interesting. You will be supported in a collegiate environment and encouraged to develop a full range of estates management and team leadership skills to advance your career with us.
