About the Role
Join the council as a Simpler Recycling Support Officer and play a key role in driving environmental change across the community. You’ll support the delivery of behaviour change and communications projects, helping residents understand and engage with recycling services while ensuring compliance with new Simpler Recycling legislation.

About the Team
You’ll be part of the Recycling, Waste & Waste Enforcement service within the Environment and Resident Experience directorate, working closely with outreach officers, project officers, contractors, and housing partners. The team is dedicated to delivering high‑quality services and driving sustainable change, with strong collaboration across internal departments and external stakeholders. Together, you’ll take a proactive and solution‑focused approach to improving recycling behaviours and maintaining excellent service standards for residents.
