Recycling Officer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, enthusiastic and organised individual to work within the recycling team. The Dorset Waste Partnership has rolled out the 'recycle for Dorset' collection service over the last 3 years which has helped recycling rates achieve around 60%. A key aim for the recycling team is to encourage residents to recycle more, reduce waste and improve the street scene. The role will achieve this through developing a wide variety of initiatives, undertaking talks, events and by working with schools. There will also be day to day enquiries to resolve, often relating to the 'recycle for Dorset' service.

You will need to be educated to an A level standard and / or have significant experience in a similar role. You will need to be a natural communicator and have the confidence to stand up in front of a range of different audiences and build positive relationships with them and other key stakeholders. With such a varied role, good prioritisation and multi tasking skills will be essential in order to deliver excellent work on time and to the required standards.

The post requires travelling across Dorset and occasional evening and weekend working.
