You will be the public face of Serco’s Environmental Services team. As a Street Cleansing Operative, you will carry out a range of activities designed to maintain clean streets in the area. Duties will include scraping away weeds, manually sweeping and shovelling silt, cleaning dog mess, removing flyposting and graffiti, emptying litter and dog bins, and the removal of fly-tipped waste. We take great pride in ensuring our community remains a beautiful, safe, and clean place to live and work.
We know that Environmental Services workers are our community’s unsung heroes, and while it can be hard work, we offer the opportunity to go home each day with a sense of community spirit, pride in your work, and belonging within a supportive and diverse team.
In addition to job satisfaction, we also offer a fantastic work/life balance. With pre-planned routes and set start and finish times, there are no nasty surprises or late finishes with Serco, leaving you with plenty of time to spend with your family and friends.
You won’t be doing this alone. Our team is made up of professional, friendly, and supportive teammates, including managers who began their careers with Serco as Street Cleansing Operatives, loaders, and drivers who now hold Supervisor, Operations Manager, and Contract Manager titles.
We are dedicated to the ongoing development and career progression of our Street Cleansing Operatives, with outstanding training opportunities made available, including HGV Class 2 Driver Training, Transport Manager CPC, Team Leader and Management training, and a supportive management team who will provide guidance to ensure you achieve your goals with Serco.
