Help Keep Essential Environmental Services Running Smoothly Across Rother.
Are you organised, customer-focused and enjoy solving problems?
We’re looking for a Waste and Street Scene Services Administrator to join our Waste and Street Scene Services department.
This is a varied role providing administrative and operational support across waste, recycling, street cleansing, garden waste and abandoned vehicle services. You’ll play an important part in helping the team deliver reliable services to residents, businesses and visitors across the district.
You’ll be responsible for administering customer enquiries, maintaining service records and databases, supporting contract monitoring activities, processing financial information and assisting with service performance reporting. You’ll also support the administration of the garden waste service and abandoned vehicle processes, helping ensure accurate records are maintained and services run efficiently.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working closely with residents, contractors, council teams and partner organisations, you’ll help resolve enquiries, share information and support the day-to-day delivery of essential environmental services. No two days are the same, with a mix of customer contact, administration, data management and service support activities.
This role is based at Castleham Business Park, Hastings.
