Swindon, United Kingdom Swindon Borough Council Full time
At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

Your next role

As a country park warden working for SBC you will be responsible for the upkeep and improvement of four of our flagship country parks across the borough – Coate Water, Lydiard Park, Stanton Park and Barbury Castle. The core elements of the role are to ensure the parks are clean, presentable, safe and attractive places for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive.

Core duties will include:

Cleaning toilets and BBQ’s, emptying bins, litter picking, fishing and statutory safety checks (play park, dams, splash park), vegetation management (mowing and strimming), engaging with the public, contractors and external events.

Alongside the core duties to ensure the country parks and safe and presentable spaces, we also manage the sites for wildlife conservation. With this in mind we host regular volunteer sessions around the parks to improve habitats and biodiversity, there will be opportunities to be part of those sessions.

You must have good time keeping and organisational skills, be self-motivated and reasonably fit as the work is physically demanding. Excellent communication skills are required as you will be dealing with the general public and contractors on a daily basis.

A full licence is essential.

The role includes working every other weekend and some bank holidays.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

The ability to travel throughout the Borough will be required in order to be available to support sessions and events around the town.

Your next package

Please see our offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
