About the role

  • Advertising Start Date: - 23 Oct 2026
  • Function: - Waste Management & Refuse
  • Location: - Wareham
  • Vacancy Type: - Permanent
  • Salary Details: - £26,016 - £26,427
  • About the role: -

    We have vacancies for Loaders. No previous experience is required.

    The teams that collect our waste and recycling from the side of the road, to send it on its way to be sorted and recycled into new products or turned into electricity, are the first line of defence in the battle to protect our local and global environment. If our teams stopped collecting for just 1 week, four thousand tonnes of waste would be left on the streets of our beautiful Dorset.

    It can be hard work; it can be messy but if you’re looking for work life balance, you like being outdoors and would like a job that is sure to keep you fit, then why not consider working with us.

    You will work 37 hours per week on a rota basis, to cover early mornings and some weekends and bank holiday working. Opportunity to work overtime is available.

    A range of benefits including:

    • Training and development opportunities, particularly if you’d like to progress to be trained as an HGV driver
    • Generous holiday entitlement - 27 days holiday each year plus some bank holidays - rising to 32 days after 5 years' service, with the option to buy additional leave
    • Double time of basic pay for any bank holiday working
    • Local Government Pension scheme including immediate life cover.
    • Employee Wellbeing service
    • Free health checks
