Neighbourhood Caretaker
Neighbourhood Caretaker – Ladywood Regeneration Meanwhile Phase
Permanent role Grade B – £28,598 - £34,434 (Consultation grade – subject to formal evaluation under the Equal Pay Programme)
Hours: 36.5 per week
About the Role
The Ladywood Regeneration Meanwhile phase will require increased effort in maintaining the public realm, particularly during active development. This will demand heightened attention from residents, partners, and media. Through the Resident & Community Charter and the Meanwhile Offer, the Council has committed to:
- Maintaining high standards of estate cleanliness
- Reducing fly-tipping
- Creating safer communal spaces
- Ensuring a visible on-site presence throughout regeneration
To deliver on these commitments, we are seeking a dedicated Neighbourhood Caretaker to play a key role in maintaining and improving the local environment while advising on development.
Why this role matters:
- Regeneration is long-term; sustained neighbourhood management ensures residents retain confidence in the process.
- Existing resources are reactive rather than proactive, making a focused role essential for consistency in service delivery.
