Description
Full Time / 37 Hours Per Week / Permanent
Join us to improve the transport system across Leicester. The Traffic Regulation Order Team develop and deliver strategies, policies, projects, and programmes to improve Leicester's transport network and environment. Our portfolio covers various aspects of the transport network in the city, such as the introduction of residential parking schemes, delivery of advisory disabled bays for residents, and implementation of Traffic Regulation Orders. The council policy is to help disabled residents with Blue Badges who have problems parking near their home, and to allow for parking bays which are specifically marked out to enable parking.
Join us as a specialist in providing advisory disabled bays for residents and delivering Traffic Regulation Orders covering the whole of the city. Technically astute, you'll have an administrative background able to support highway-related projects.
This is a permanent, full-time position working 37 hours per week from Monday to Friday. You'll have the flexibility to work from our main base at City Hall or from home depending on experience and team requirements.
This is a career-graded post (LG Band 05 – LG Band 07). Appointment to a level will depend on the outcome of the selection process and the experience of the successful candidate. We would consider candidates who would like to undertake a secondment for a period of a year.
