Waste Management Operatives

Thrive Oldham are recruiting Waste Management Operatives in the Leicestershire Area in various locations

The role is very much a hands-on supervisory role. It will require travelling to the Council's RHWSs and WTSs daily to undertake: -

• HR related tasks (supporting the onboarding process for new starters, undertaking one to ones, return to works, low-level policy discussions)
• Delivery of training through workbooks and / or supporting those completing learning through e-learning
• Developing and delivering toolbox talks and other training packages / safety briefings
• Monitoring and enforcing the Council's safe systems of work and risk assessments for all site operations
• Ensuring records for waste movements are accurate and appropriately filed
• Monitoring and enforcing the Council's Quality Management System for processes at the RHWS
• Issuing and monitoring / recording PPE and uniforms to staff
• Driving from time to time a Council 3.5 tonne box van
• Handling of low-level complaints from customers face to face, by telephone and by email.

We will provide PPE and may be some uniform requirements, particularly the potential wearing of a Body Worn Camera (BWC). The BWC will only record and make footage available for download, if activated by the holder. These are part of uniform for all field-based staff, unless reasonable adjustments should be considered.
