Job Title: Neighbourhood Team Operative&nbsp;
Department: Open Spaces
Location: Rochford District
Salary: Scale 4 £26,403 – £28,142
Hours: 37 hours per week, onsite
Benefits: Local Government Pension Scheme, generous annual leave, flexi scheme, staff discounts
Closing Date: 25/01/2025

Our Culture and Values:
We like our staff to be proactive and innovative. Being customer focused and willing to maximise your potential at work are expected. We all work together to achieve the very best for our residents which sometimes means getting involved in projects and trying new tasks outside of your day to day job role. We love our staff to suggest new ideas and to have enthusiasm to try out new experiences.
The Job Role:
Rochford District Council is looking to appoint a positive, enthusiastic, and proactive individual to the exciting role of Neighbourhood Team Operative. This is a great opportunity to join our dedicated and hardworking Open Spaces Team. Being versatile and self-motivated is essential.
During your role, you will be striving to successfully execute grounds maintenance requests within our open spaces and on public highways with support from the Open Spaces Grounds Maintenance Team.
As a Neighbourhood Team Operative, you will be engaged in all aspects of Horticultural work including the use of tractors, heavy grass cutting machinery, tree, shrub and bedding planting, hedge cutting, renovation of sports pitches as well as assisting in the day to day challenges of grounds maintenance. It is essential for the successful candidate to undertake Health and Safety checks and Risk Assessments, and to be able to professionally communicate with people of all levels, from co-workers and contractors to residents.
It is also essential for a successful candidate to be able to undertake physical and demanding work in all weathers, of all seasons. Work within the Open Spaces Team can be challenging, however; this is outweighed by the sense of pride and the self-rewarding nature of working as a part of a team within the horticultural industry.
As a local authority, Customer Focus is very important to us and we would expect any successful candidate to act in the upmost professional of manner.

It is our policy that if you have not heard back within 3 weeks of the closing date you should assume that you have not been shortlisted on this occasion.



Contract: Fixed 24‑month contract Estimated Hours: Approximately 460 hours per year (hours are not evenly distributed and will vary depending on the Chairman’s schedule; the postholder will be required to work as and when needed) Availability Requirement: Candidates must be available to work during November and December.
An increased number of civic events involving the Chairman expected in March, April, May, September, and October.
Benefits: Local Government Pension Scheme, generous annual leave entitlement (pro-rata for part-time hours).
Our Culture and Values
We like our staff to be proactive and innovative. Being customer‑focused and willing to maximise your potential at work are expected. We all work together to achieve the very best for our residents, which sometimes means getting involved in projects and trying new tasks outside of your day‑to‑day job role. We welcome new ideas and enthusiasm for trying new experiences.
The Job Role
As Civic Chauffeur, you will be responsible for transporting the Chairman and Civic party to official engagements, ensuring timely arrivals through effective route planning and providing courteous support throughout events. You will also assist with the care and security of the Chains of Office, maintain the Civic vehicle to a high standard, and support the Civic Officer in hosting events.
The role also includes administrative tasks, photography for Civic records, and occasionally deputising for the Civic Officer. This is a key role in representing the Council at public functions and supporting the smooth delivery of Civic events.
About You
This role involves long and unsociable hours, and the workload can fluctuate significantly due to the nature of Civic engagements. The successful candidate must therefore be highly flexible, with the ability to work variable shifts — including evenings and weekends — sometimes at short notice.
You must hold a full, clean driving licence and be confident in planning routes and driving to a high standard. While previous chauffeuring experience is desirable, full training will be provided. We are looking for someone who is positive, hardworking, and reliable, with a professional and courteous manner. You should be comfortable working independently, take pride in your appearance and conduct, and be willing to support the wider Democratic Services team when needed.
A basic DBS check is required for this post.
