About the Role



We are recruiting for exciting opportunities within our expanding Street Cleansing teams, helping to deliver high-quality environmental improvements across Nottingham's city centre and neighbourhoods.


These roles are part of our dedicated Jet Washing Service, responsible for enhancing the appearance of the public realm through the cleaning and maintenance of pavements, public spaces, street furniture and Council-owned assets. Working as part of a frontline operational team, you will use specialist jet washing equipment to remove dirt, staining, chewing gum, graffiti and other environmental issues, helping to create cleaner, safer and more welcoming communities.


We are recruiting to three shift patterns:



  • Tuesday to Saturday – either 4:00am to 12:00pm or 12:00pm to 20:00pm

  • Sunday to Thursday – either 4:00am to 12:00pm or 12:00pm to 20:00pm

  • Monday to Friday - 07:00am - 15:00pm


These shift patterns enable the service to provide effective coverage across the city throughout the week, ensuring key locations are maintained to a high standard while minimising disruption to residents, businesses and visitors.


Whether working in Nottingham's busy city centre or within neighbourhood shopping precincts and residential areas, you will play a vital role in delivering visible environmental improvements through jet washing, pavement cleaning, chewing gum removal, graffiti removal and the cleaning of Council-owned assets. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who enjoy working outdoors, take pride in their work and want to make a positive difference to the environments where people live, work and visit.


These roles offer the opportunity to work within a dedicated frontline service, using specialist equipment to help maintain a clean, safe and attractive city while supporting Nottingham City Council's commitment to delivering excellent environmental standards for all communities.



About You






  • The ideal candidate(s) will hold a Full UK driving licence (up to 7.5 tonnes) and be enthusiastic, reliable and committed to delivering high-quality environmental services to the residents and communities of Nottingham. Previous experience within street cleansing, environmental services, waste management or a similar frontline role would be beneficial but is not essential, as full training will be provided. We are looking for individuals with a positive attitude, strong work ethic and a willingness to learn and develop new skills.

  • You will be comfortable working both independently and as part of a team, possess a good awareness of health and safety, and be willing to learn how to operate a range of specialist vehicles, jet washing equipment, powered tools and cleansing machinery. Successful candidates will enjoy working outdoors, take pride in maintaining public spaces and be committed to delivering excellent customer service to residents, businesses and visitors across Nottingham.

  • The role is physically demanding and requires individuals who are fit and capable of working in all weather conditions, undertaking activities such as walking long distances, lifting and carrying materials, and carrying out manual cleansing duties. You will have good communication and interpersonal skills, be able to engage professionally with members of the public, follow instructions, use your initiative and adapt to changing operational demands. You will also be comfortable using handheld devices and mobile technology to record work activities and complete job reporting requirements. A commitment to teamwork, equality, diversity and inclusion, continuous improvement and delivering a clean, safe and welcoming environment for all is essential.
