**About the job**:
Join our apprentice programme and you’ll increase your skills and experience. We offer this scheme because we’re committed to developing our people and offering opportunities. Your working hours remain the same, but you’ll spend 20% of your time with college learning new skills, and 80% practical on the job experience.

An apprenticeship is a 12 month course which gives you valuable extra experience and you’ll qualify as a ‘Waste Resource Operative, Level 2’. You will either already have level 1 qualifications in English and maths, or their equivalents, or undertake some tests to check that you could achieve them.

The apprenticeship builds on essential skills, such as great customer service, being able to explain our services confidently and accurately, and understanding how important health and safety is to safe service operation. The course will give you a sound understanding about the principles of waste and recycling. This will include identifying waste and recyclables, sorting and segregation, treatment options, duty of care and health, safety, quality and environmental issues.

The role of the Waste Resource Operative is to assist in the day to day operation of the service, and to ensure that processes are carried out safely and efficiently. You will learn about the protection of the environment, efficient use of resources and enhancing quality in compliance with relevant regulation.

**Closing date**:
5pm on Tuesday 25 April 2023.
