About You:
Neighbourhood Service sits within the Department of Place in the heart of Bolton. The services we provide are an essential service for both the community, businesses and visitors to Bolton. We work with local people to make lasting improvements where they’re most needed and developing Bolton to be a place where people choose to live, work and invest.
We want to make a positive and lasting difference, so it is essential you can work and contribute as part of a team. The ability to accept and understand verbal and written communications whilst communicating effectively with others is key. On occasions you will be working alone, and you will be expected to plan and organise the daily tasks you are given.
As our services covers all of Bolton, having a good directional skill would be an advantage as well as the ability to traverse for long periods of time. You will need to have a good level of numeracy and literacy skills to complete routine documentation.
