The Royal Borough of Kingston is one of the top-performing London boroughs in waste and recycling. Last year our residents recycled and composted 47% of their waste, and we’re continuing to push towards achieving 50% and beyond.
To reach this goal whilst also providing excellent waste services, we need outstanding members of staff. We are a growing team; we currently have three permanent posts but are expanding to meet the demands of the Council’s financial savings programme. As part of this programme, Waste will be responsible for delivering £3.8m of strategically significant savings over the next three years.
We’re looking for an expert statistician who will be able to take the lead on collecting, organising, manipulating and reporting on our complex waste data. You will also be responsible for our statutory reporting to Waste Data Flow.
The reports and forecasts you provide will be extremely valuable and a crucial part of all aspects of our cost-savings work. You will contribute heavily to this cost-savings work, and will need to have excellent communication skills to complement your statistical expertise.
You’ll need to be motivated and keen to take on responsibilities. You’ll also need to be able to use your initiative when the situation demands it, and be able to work efficiently both on your own and as part of a close, friendly team.
In return, we’re offering a senior-level post, which recognises the value of your experience and provides you with an excellent opportunity to expand on your first-rate knowledge and skills.
Kingston is a great place to live and work. You can read more about the area and the council’s performance in Destination Kingston (http://www.kingston.gov.uk/destination_kingston_2011-2015.pdf). You’ll note in this publication that waste and recycling is held up as a shining example of some of the council’s best work in recent years. Wouldn’t you like to be involved?
