About the role

Our Recycling & Refuse Loaders perform a key role in providing an excellent recycling and refuse collection service to the residents.

It is essential that you are a team player and can communicate with your colleagues and customers, clearly and politely, and show a clear understanding of good customer care.

Compliance with health and safety guidance is very important for you, team members and the public, due to the heavy lifting machinery, dust and fumes. Guidance, training and personal protective equipment (PPE) is provided to all successful candidates.

  • You will demonstrate good customer care skills.

We provide competitive annual leave, and contribute 22.10% towards the LGPS pension scheme. You will also have access to a range of discounts including local and high street stores, salary‑sacrifice schemes, a cycle lease scheme, and ‘Better’ leisure centre membership.
