Experience of dealing with the general public and business community and a valid First Aid at Work Certificate or willingness to work towards is essential. Knowledge of health and safety practices and experience working as part of a team in a similar environment is desirable. You will be required to work a 4 on 4 off shift pattern. Previous experience of working within a Neighbourhood Service and/or Waste service is desirable but not required, as training will be provided.
