Help keep essential environmental services running smoothly across Rother.

Are you organised, customer-focused and enjoy solving problems?

We’re looking for a Waste and Street Scene Services Administrator to join our Waste and Street Scene Services department.

This is a varied role providing administrative and operational support across waste, recycling, street cleansing, garden waste and abandoned vehicle services. You’ll play an important part in helping the team deliver reliable services to residents, businesses and visitors across the district.

You’ll be responsible for administering customer enquiries, maintaining service records and databases, supporting contract monitoring activities, processing financial information and assisting with service performance reporting.
