Job description
Sheffield has a rich variety of wonderful parks and green spaces that contribute to our reputation as an Outdoor City and one of the greenest cities in Europe. Parks have a positive impact on people’s mental and physical wellbeing, which has been shown through the years.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working outdoors and can work independently as well as within a team environment. You will need to have attention to detail, be enthusiastic, and safety-conscious while providing and maintaining a high standard of grounds maintenance work in all our green and open spaces.
The post holder is required to be part of a team of staff carrying out maintenance operations within a defined geographical area, including the provision of grounds maintenance, playground checks, and emptying bins. You will need to be able to respond to unexpected situations using initiative and common sense, as well as recording and reporting all incidents.
Suitable training will be provided alongside opportunities to develop your skills with excellent progression opportunities.
A full clean driving licence is desirable.
We are investing in our workforce and promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity, and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled, and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
It is a great time to join us, and we welcome your application.
Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria of this job are guaranteed an interview.
