Waste Minimisation and Sustainability Advisor

1 week ago

Braintree, United Kingdom Braintree District Council Full time

Job description

We have a great opportunity for a Waste Minimisation and Sustainability Advisor to join our Operations service to help tackle climate change and support residents and local businesses in minimising waste, recycling more and maximising opportunities in the circular economy.

The changes to waste and recycling legislation and policies make this a very exciting time to join the Waste Minimisation & Sustainability team, as they will be integral to delivering these changes over the coming years.

The climate crisis is one of the most significant issues to face our society, our environment and the planet. We have seen a rapid global rise in greenhouse gas emissions over the last 100 years and a trend towards increasing global average temperatures over the last century.

The post holder will support the design and delivery of educational sessions to residents, schools and community groups, will act as the point of contact for residents and provide administrative and research support for the Operations Services.

To be successful in this role you will be confident and experienced in dealing with people, with the ability to establish credibility at all levels. A genuine commitment towards the environment, tackling climate change and preventing waste is essential, due to the nature of the message and its target audience. You will have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills and a proven experience with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, Word and Power Point.

If you would like an informal chat about the post, please contact Esme McCambridge on 01376 557768.

For more information, please see the Job Profile.
