About the role
We are looking for an enthusiastic, organised, and collaborative person to join our StreetScene office
team. This role is diverse and will oversee our small and friendly administration and business support
team, ensuring that our paid services run smoothly and efficiently, and our operations teams are
supported effectively. In addition, the post-holder would ensure that both of our depot offices in Sidmouth
and Exmouth continue to be safe, functional spaces for our staff to work and thrive in.
In short, you will be pivotal to the success of a dedicated, highly valued, publicly visible, seven days a
week service making a tangible and lasting impact on how East Devon looks and feels.
About you
You’ll have excellent written and verbal communication skills, great accuracy and attention to detail as
well as the ability to balance the competing demands of a busy frontline service. You’ll also have proven
experience in business administration or office management in a similar environment, ideally but not
necessarily, within a local authority setting. You will need to be able to travel across the district to attend
site meetings and must hold a valid driving licence (reasonable adjustments may be possible according to
the Equality Act).
About us
In return, you will be part of a Gold Investors in People (IiP) organisation which works together with local
people to create great value services and an outstanding community, economy and environment in which
people want to live, work, visit and enjoy now, and for future generations. And with our wide range of
health and wellbeing benefits, our highly flexible and collaborative hybrid Worksmart working
arrangements as well as our commitment to continuous learning and development, you can be confident
of joining a dedicated community of colleagues who are Happy, Healthy and Here.
