Cardiff is growing faster than any other capital city in Europe and we have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual to join Street Scene Services, in the delivery of frontline operations providing a high standard of service to the residents of Cardiff.

This includes speaking with residents, community groups, schools and trade customers through a range of door knocking and community outreach sessions. Your conversations will include the correct presentation of waste, the benefits of recycling, how to reduce waste etc.

You’ll also help shape and roll out the changes needed to grow segregated recycling in flats right across the city. You will help to provide key data, to develop Cardiff's waste strategy. This will include the completion of face-to-face surveys, on street monitoring and desk-based research.

We are looking firstly for someone who is passionate about the Environment. You need to be able to clearly explain how positive actions, from a recycling and waste minimisation perspective, will lead to overall improvements.

You will need to be confident in speaking to a wide range of stakeholders and not be afraid of an audience.
