About the job:

Streetscene has a focus on delivering excellent service standards to tight deadlines for essential, high-profile services.

The service makes a real difference to the way the Borough looks, with work including park and playground management, grass cutting, tree management, street cleansing, litter bin servicing and sustainable management of our land holdings.

Have experience of stand behind mowers and grass strimmer's.
You will also have a sound health and safety knowledge.
You'll be able to communicate well with other team members and the public.

Why work for us?:

Newcastle-under-Lyme is a borough with big ambitions.

We've already started our transformation, however, we still need to find better ways of doing things because we are determined to do the very best we can for our communities.

If our vision is to be the best, then we need the best people working for us. Our people are at the heart of what we do and have the freedom to innovate, grow and develop.

We recruit people who share our vision and values; people who have the drive to deliver our ambitious Council plan.

Our historic Borough is a place of marked contrasts.

We are the home of a world class University at Keele, a leading light known internationally for its research and sustainability record, which stands side by side with former mining communities including some which register amongst the most deprived areas in the country.

Our Borough is also a mixture of urban centres, affected by some of the same social issues facing our neighbouring city, Stoke-on-Trent, but also outstanding rural landscapes in our less populated villages.

Our plans and priorities aim to address the needs of all our communities.

Our People Offer:

We reward our people with a competitive range of benefits including; access to the local government pension scheme, minimum 24 days annual leave plus 5 extra days after 5 years' service, flexible working options and family friendly policies, local and national high street discounts, free car parking, green travel scheme including cycle to work and electric car salary sacrifice, free employee 24 hour employee assistance and counselling services, flu vaccination service and health checks plus development and training opportunities.
