Do you hold a LGV Cat C licence, and would you like to assist with recycling?

Are you interested in learning how to drive a hook lift vehicle?

If the answer is yes to both of these questions then we have the perfect opportunity for you.

Warwickshire County Council provides valued and well used recycling facilities across the county and we are committed to reducing waste and its impact upon the environment. We are looking for a Class C Roll on Roll off driver to join us and help us with this mission.

We are looking for full time or part time Drivers who hold a Certificate of Professional Competence (DCPC) and can work some weekends and bank holidays.

The Role

As a Roll on Roll off Driver, you will help to keep our household waste recycling centres and transfer stations running efficiently and safely on behalf of Warwickshire County Council. You will do this by transporting roll on roll off skips to maintain capacity in this important public service. If you do not have experience of using a hook lift, you will attend a three day course and gain experience whilst working in post. You will use your initiative to ensure that the waste management service is running as efficiently as possible and that materials are taken for appropriate recycling and disposal.

Positives:

• No night work so you finish and go home every day
• Limited number of visits per day within the region
• Training can be given for use of hook lift
