York, United Kingdom City of York Council Full time

Do you want to play a part in making our city look fantastic? Do you want a rewarding role, working outdoors, as part of a committed and hardworking team? If so, this could be the role for you.

The general operative role is varied and our service provides a reliable and efficient street cleansing and grounds maintenance service to the residents, businesses and visitors of the city. Tasks involve horticultural maintenance works such as grass cutting including mowing of open spaces and verges, hedge trimming, planting, pruning, weed control, leafing and all associated general gardening tasks. The role can also involve the emptying of litter and dog bins, litter picking and other cleaning tasks through both manual and mechanical means. Our teams are also responsible for rapid response to unscheduled cleansing and horticultural tasks which may include dealing with reports of dead animals, sharps (discarded needles) and other environmental hazards. Working 37 hours per week (Monday to Friday) and based at our Hazel Court depot, this is a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to the city and its communities.

Please note that this this post is temporary for a period not to exceed 12 months, providing some interim resource whilst the council reviews its structures.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.

This role is suitable for job share.
