About the role
We are recruiting a StreetScene Mobile Operative to join our busy Seaton and Axe Valley team. The role will involve cleaning and stocking public lavatories, street cleansing (litter picking / emptying bins) and general public realm maintenance. Additionally, you may be asked to undertake work maintaining our outstanding environment predominantly through general grounds maintenance, hedge cutting, grass cutting, strimming, sports pitch maintenance, maintaining open spaces, and other duties assigned by the area team leader.
About you
You will need to be able to work diligently with minimal supervision, including weekends and on public holidays. You must have practical experience in a cleansing role, and you’ll need to be able to work seasonal hours (*41.5 hours in summer, 32.5 hours in winter – average of 37 hours per week). The working pattern is Wednesday-Sunday all year round. A valid driver’s licence is essential, and a category C1 C1E or C driving licence (or B licence issued prior to Jan 1997) would be a distinct advantage.
About us
Our recent Local Government Association Peer Challenge highlighted that ‘EDDC is a great place to work, with engaged staff and members’ and that’s certainly true! You will be part of a Gold Investors in People (IiP) organisation which works together with local people to create great value services and an outstanding community, economy and environment in which people want to live, work, visit and enjoy now, and for future generations. And with our wide range of health and wellbeing benefits, our highly flexible and collaborative hybrid Worksmart working arrangements as well as our commitment to continuous learning and development, you can be confident of joining a dedicated community of colleagues who are Happy, Healthy and Here.
