Local Government Reorganisation
The Government has confirmed that local government across Lancashire will be
reorganised, with the current 15 councils being replaced by four new unitary
councils covering North, South, East and West Lancashire from April 20
28.
If you are successful in your application, you will initially join Lancashire
County Council. However, as part of the planned transition, your employment will
transfer to one of the new unitary councils from April 2028, subject to the
implementation of the reorganisation and relevant employment legislation.
Throughout this period, our focus remains on delivering excellent services to
our communities. By joining us now, you'll play an important role in shaping the
future of local government and helping to build a strong new organisation that
will serve residents for years to come.
Site Supervisor
Location: Garstang CRRCs
Days of work: Thursday to Monday
Hours: 37 plus 3 hours contractual overtime. Weekend enhancement on the base
rate
Staff Responsibility: Supervisory
Qualifications:
Hold, or be willing to achieve, industry-recognised qualifications such as COTC
Level 4, OCC, and First Aid to support the safe and compliant operation of our
recycling centres.
Lead from the Front and Make a Lasting Difference
Every day, thousands of Lancashire residents rely on our Household Waste
Recycling Centres to dispose of their waste safely and responsibly. As a Site
Supervisor, you'll play a key role in ensuring those visits are positive,
professional, and environmentally beneficial.
This is far more than a supervisory position. It's an opportunity to lead a
team, support your local community, and help Lancashire deliver its ambitious
recycling and reuse objectives. You'll be the person who sets the standard on
site, creating a safe, welcoming environment for residents while supporting and
developing the people around you.
Working closely with the Site Manager, you'll help coordinate daily site
operations, guide and motivate operatives, and ensure high standards of customer
service, health and safety, housekeeping, and environmental compliance are
consistently maintained. You'll spend as much time leading by example as you
will supervising others, remaining actively involved in the day-to-day running
of the facility.
We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people, takes pride in
achieving high standards, and can confidently respond to the challenges that
come with managing a busy public-facing operation. Whether you're supporting a
colleague, engaging with a customer, resolving an operational issue, or helping
maximise recycling and reuse, you'll be at the heart of delivering an essential
service to Lancashire residents.
Success in this role requires strong communication skills, sound judgement, and
a positive, practical approach. You'll have the confidence to give direction
when needed, whilst creating a culture where safety, teamwork, and excellent
customer service come first.
In return,
You'll join a supportive organisation that invests in its people. You'll receive
ongoing training and development, opportunities to gain and maintain
industry-recognised qualifications, and the chance to build a rewarding career
within one of the country's largest local authority waste management services.
If you're a natural leader who enjoys working outdoors, developing teams, and
making a visible difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Bring:
Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate others.
Excellent communication and customer service skills.
A commitment to health, safety, and environmental responsibility.
The ability to make decisions, solve problems, and work independently.
A passion for recycling, reuse, and delivering high-quality public services.
Relevant operational qualifications, or the ability to achieve them within an
agreed timeframe.
What We Offer
Enjoy excellent development opportunities, industry-recognised training, varied
and rewarding work, and the chance to make a genuine contribution to
Lancashire's communities and environmental future as part of a dedicated and
valued team.
