East Staffordshire Borough Council takes its role as Principal Litter Authority seriously and the Street Cleaning team is proud of their achievements in keeping the highways, footpaths and open spaces of the Borough clean and tidy. The team uses a variety of techniques to tackle the problems associated with litter, detritus, dog fouling, graffiti and weed killing, including both mechanical and manual sweeping. We are now looking to recruit an enthusiastic Street Cleaning Driver/Labourer (Non-HGV) to join our current team. The role involves the driving of designated street cleansing vehicles and the associated cleansing of highways and public open spaces. Vehicles may include, but are not limited to, mechanical road and footway sweepers, 3.5t pick-ups and a quad bike. The use of an in-cab device to check workflow demands and to record cleanliness levels is also required. You must hold a valid driving licence and have a sound understanding of the health and safety implications of driving operational vehicles, combined with excellent customer care and communication skills. The successful candidate must share our desire to make a difference to the environment and be proactive in their approach to keeping the Borough clean. You will be required to work outdoors in all weathers and have to walk long distances. This is your opportunity to join an essential front-facing service with a good reputation and a strong desire to perform at the highest level. The Council offers a generous annual leave entitlement, a local government pension scheme and regularised hours. Hours of work are normally Monday to Friday (Mon to Thurs 7.00am to 3.00pm, Fri 7.00am to 2.30pm).
