About the Role
The green agenda is a high priority and with recent changes in environmental law, this is a fantastic opportunity to join our recycling team and help make a difference. We are looking for an enthusiastic, organised and motivated Recycling Development Officer to support our residents by improving recycling and encouraging waste minimisation. This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You will provide residents with advice and guidance about the Council’s waste and recycling collection services, investigate recycling and contamination issues, and work alongside our waste collection teams to help improve services. Additionally, you will collect, monitor and analyse data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement, as well as support recycling, engagement and waste minimisation initiatives across the borough. Joining us means becoming part of a friendly and supportive team where your work can make a real difference to residents, communities and the environment. Alongside a competitive salary, we offer excellent benefits including a Local Government Pension Scheme, generous holiday entitlement, free on-site parking and discounted leisure facilities. We actively encourage a healthy work-life balance, continuous learning and development, and provide a programme of activities to support employee wellbeing. We are a friendly and progressive employer with strong leadership values and a commitment to inclusion, welcoming applications from people with diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.

Experience
Previous experience in waste and recycling is not essential. We welcome candidates with the right skills, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Training and support will be provided to develop your knowledge of the service.

About you
You enjoy working with people and providing excellent customer service. You are confident communicating with residents, colleagues and partner organisations. You are organised and able to manage your own workload effectively. You can collect, interpret and use information and data to support decision making. You enjoy problem solving and finding practical solutions. You can work independently while also being a positive member of a busy team.

Qualifications
No specific qualifications are required for this role, but a commitment to learning and professional development is essential.
