Serco's Environmental Services provide a complete waste and recycling service on behalf of the residents and community in Wandsworth. With a professional, dedicated and friendly team of Street Cleansing staff, we ensure that streets, homes and businesses are kept clean, safe and tidy, whilst providing the very best levels of customer service to all members of the community that we serve. We have an opportunity for like-minded HGV Class 2 Drivers to join our team of essential workers and help us make a positive difference to the environment we all live and work in.
As the public face of Serco's Environmental Services team, you will ensure that your vehicle safety checks are completed and that your truck is clean and work-ready before setting out on your pre-planned route, collecting waste and recycling from residential homes and commercial properties. We are on the front line when it comes to making sure 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 you 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, 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 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 Drivers, with outstanding training opportunities made available to you, along with the chance to undertake additional qualifications, including Transport Manager CPC, Team Leader and Management training, with a supportive management team to guide you.
We welcome applications from ex-Armed Forces personnel, reservists, armed forces veterans, cadet instructors, and military spouses/partners.
What do I need to do the role?
To be considered for a position within our team, you must hold a valid Class 2 driving licence, Driver CPC, plenty of enthusiasm, and a willingness to help out the Loaders while on your rounds to enable your team to hit their targets. Strong customer service skills and the ability to deal with members of the public are essential.
Due to the nature of the business, you must be physically fit as this position involves heavy lifting and walking. Previous experience of working with refuse collection and street cleansing is desired but not essential, as we will provide any additional training you may need.
