Driver (Non LGV) - Waste & Recycling Collection Operative

The successful candidate will need to be a strong team player, who demonstrates positive behaviour and has a flexible approach to work. The post is physically demanding and therefore a good standard of fitness is required (collection rounds can involve walking 10 miles a day and the movement and lifting of recycling containers presented by residents for collection). The willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions is essential. It will be necessary to work flexible hours including some weekends and bank holidays. Successful candidates will be required to drive vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes and must therefore hold a valid Category C1 driving licence and Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
