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.
