Job Introduction

Are you enthusiastic and just good at getting things done?

An exciting opportunity has become available for an interesting and varied role. You will be working as part of a small team looking after the council’s parks, trees and play areas. Every day is different - this isn’t a desk-bound job; you will spend the majority of your time out in the district, being proactive and resolving issues.

This customer-focused and varied role provides a great career opportunity if you are starting out or looking for a change in career. Previous experience working in a monitoring or investigative role would be an advantage. However, this is not essential, as training will be given for the right candidates.

What will you be doing?

- Proactively investigating enquiries and complaints
- Investigating breaches of environmental legislation, such as dog fouling, littering and abandoned vehicles
- Planning, coordinating and undertaking inspections and monitoring of leisure centres and parks
- Overseeing a range of contracts, including grounds maintenance, weed control, tree risk inspection, stray dogs and conservation grazing
- Overseeing open space improvement projects from inception through procurement to delivery

About you

As an ideal candidate, you will have:

- Great people skills
- An interest in improving the local environment
- The capability to explain standards, policies and procedures
- An inquisitive and persuasive manner with good attention to detail
- A high level of organisational skills
- A full driving licence
- IT skills, including Microsoft Word to create letters and reports

You will be giving advice to residents and businesses on issues relating to litter, dog fouling, trees, play, and the environment.

You will be working with community groups and other partners to improve the quality of the environment in our streets and open spaces.

What can we offer you?

- A stimulating and supportive work environment
- Flexible working arrangements, including flexi-time
- 26-29 days' annual leave rising to 34 days with 5 years' local government service
- Employee well-being programme

Closing date: 24th October 2025 at midnight.
