Cheshire West and Chester Council brings a fresh and energetic approach to providing top quality services for its many customers and communities. West Cheshire is a place where everyone can Thrive - through our core values of Teamwork, Honesty, Respect, Innovation, Value for Money and Empowerment.

The two roles require flexibility as there will be a requirement to work outside normal office hours, including regular weekend and evening work. The service demands are seasonal and will fluctuate throughout the year, which will result in a variable number of hours worked each month so both positions will operate on an annualised hours system but with the option to work overtime as and when required. One position is for 25 hours per week and the second 20 hours per week.

Cheshire West and Chester Council are committed to equality and diversity in employment. Please see the Equality Policy for more information.

Cheshire West and Chester Council have adopted a Local Living Wage for our employees which means that all employees will receive a minimum of £10.90 per hour for all contracted hours.
