Health and safety is also critical to ensure your team and residents are safe, including supporting your driver to help them navigate the streets of North Yorkshire safely.

The role is a hugely important one. You will be on the front-line of a key service in the newly formed North Yorkshire council and therefore one of the faces for the new council.

There are opportunities to gain your HGV license and progress into operational management, or indeed other services.

Typical working days and hours currently vary between different areas of the new council, but you need to be prepared to start early. Some weekend and bank holiday working may be required.
