Summary
Are you a strong team leader? Are you organised? Do you work well as part of a team? Great, you’re hired! Well maybe not yet, but you certainly are off to a flying start!
We have an exciting opportunity to reshape the services we provide to our residents, visitors, businesses and communities. These two key roles will manage three critical teams (Grounds Maintenance, Street Cleaning and Toilet Cleaning) to positively influence the Public and Open Spaces in South Hams and West Devon. We are looking for two Supervisors to work as part of our Street Scene team supported by the Service Manager.
The role would supervise the teams including monitoring of staff, which mainly includes employed staff with some agency staff, as well as distributing their work. This role is vital in delivering high quality public facing services to South Hams and West Devon.
No two days are the same assigning scheduled work, monitoring the performance of the service and providing feedback to staff on a one-to-one basis. Robust planning is the name of the game to ensure the days work is completed. Efficiency and adaptability will be key to delivering great quality places for our residents, visitors and businesses to enjoy. Working alongside the wider Community Services teams to provide a fantastic service for all. All this while making sure all Health & Safety procedures and standards are adhered to, including accident and near miss reporting, as our staff safety is the highest priority.
So, what else do you need? Excellent IT skills, a great communication style and a good working knowledge of MS Office. Ideally you will have working knowledge of working in at least one of these service areas and experience of supervising staff. One post will be based at Totnes and the other in our Torr Quarry depot.
For an informal discussion please contact Max Ahern, Ground Maintenance & Public Spaces Manager Max.Ahern@swdevon.gov.uk or call 01803 861271
