Neighbourhood Caretaker in York

City of York Council have a fantastic opportunity to join a new team, created to invest and restore pride into our communities.

As a Neighbourhood Caretaker you will focus on delivering community and ward priorities in conjunction with other internal departments and volunteer groups. Tasks will focus on varied ward priorities that will be both planned and reactive.

You will work as part of a small team, led daily by a foreperson, but will be a key team member in sharing local knowledge and experience especially in street cleansing and grounds maintenance.

If you are looking to be part of a newly created team within the authority, wanting a new challenge, and want to be part of an initiative that has a focus on making our communities safer, cleaner, and more attractive, then this could be the role for you.

The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
