The Role
You’ll be responsible for operating a Class 2 refuse collection vehicle while also actively assisting with waste and recycling collection. Although driving is a key part of the job, this role involves working hands-on as a Refuse Loader when needed — a great opportunity to stay active and work as part of a close-knit team.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Collect and load refuse and recycling bins across Worksop and surrounding areas.
2. Safely operate a Class 2 refuse vehicle in accordance with all road and safety regulations.
3. Work collaboratively with your crew to complete routes efficiently.
4. Follow all Health & Safety protocols while driving and during manual work.
5. Deliver excellent customer service when interacting with residents and local businesses.
What We’re Looking For
6. A valid Class 2 (Category C) Driving Licence
7. Up-to-date CPC and tachograph card.
8. A team-player with a flexible attitude — happy to alternate between driving and loading.
9. Physically fit and comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
10. Previous refuse collection or manual labour experience is a bonus, but not essential.
What’s in It for You
11. £13.93 per hour, with opportunities for pay progression over time.
12. Day shifts: Monday to Friday, 6am – 2:30pm – enjoy your evenings free.
13. Immediate start available.
14. Supportive team culture and full training provided.
15. A chance to work directly with the local council – offering stability and progression opportunities.
If you’re an experienced Class 2 Driver who enjoys working as part of a hardworking, friendly team and wants to make a difference in your local community, we want to hear from you.
