70 new waste management jobs created

RECRUITMENT EVENT BEING HELD

- By MARK PAGE

A RECRUITMENT drive is under way in Hull with 70 new jobs being created to expand the council's waste management team.

The city’s Streetscene Services are advertising the roles ahead of the national rollout of Simpler Recycling in March next year.

This will see all local authorities required to collect core recyclables from every household, including weekly food waste collections. As this will result in an increased demand, Hull City Council is expanding the waste team to meet this and improve service delivery.

The 70 new vacancies in waste management include 60 loader positions and ten driver chargehand roles. The salaries range between £25,583 and £32,061 with a waste operations team leader being offered up to £35,412.
