We are looking for a person who can confidently interact with customers and visitors in a helpful and positive way. Passionate for creating a great customer experience, your working day will be varied, rewarding and important within our local community.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate attention to detail and precision while handling data processing and entry, drawing on experience using Microsoft Word and Excel. It would be desirable if you have experience using a system such as PurGo, however we are happy to provide dedicated training to the right candidate.

You will often be the first point of contact for our site visitors, providing a helpful, safe and positive experience for everyone. You will be responsible for weighing and measuring vehicles and containers, while accurately recording information onto our database.

This is a permanent role working full-time, including some weekends and bank holidays. You may be required to cover holiday, sickness and illness on other nearby sites, therefore holding a driver’s licence and having access to personal transport is an advantage, but not essential.
