Stirling Council aims to provide the residents of the Stirling area with a reliable waste collection service. As a Waste Loader, you will provide an invaluable service to the residents of the Stirling area, ensuring that their waste is collected on a regular basis. Your role will require you to collect waste and load it into a collection vehicle on a specified route, uplift various types of waste, assist the drivers with the manoeuvring of the vehicle, and perform any other tasks required by the service.
You will be required to comply with the safe systems of work for refuse collection. You will also be required to clean and deliver bins throughout the Stirling area.
To be successful in this role, you will be physically fit and prepared to walk 10 - 15 miles per day carrying heavy loads over rough ground in all weathers. You will have a strong constitution regarding adverse odours.
This is an opportunity for you to provide a vital service to the community by ensuring that all waste is removed, leaving a clean and tidy environment.
You will have contact with members of the public and will act as a representative of the Council. You will have the opportunity to participate in on-the-job training, and your continuous development will be encouraged and supported throughout your career with Stirling Council.
As an employee of Stirling Council, you will have access to a wide range of rewards and benefits, such as receiving a generous annual leave entitlement, automatic membership of our pension scheme (unless you choose to opt out), and many more.
* 30 days annual leave plus 7 public holidays (rising to 35 after 5 years continuous service)
