JOB PURPOSE
The Seasonal Neighbourhood Services Operative will work alongside the permanent Neighbourhood Services Officer (NSO) to deliver Ashington Town Council's neighbourhood services programme during the high-season period from June to October. The post exists because the Council's programme during this period — particularly the sustainable bed maintenance across six wards, the seasonal planters and hanging baskets programme, and grounds maintenance — cannot be delivered within the permanent NSO's working week alone.
The postholder will contribute to maintaining and improving the appearance and environmental quality of Ashington's public spaces, amenity areas, and key community assets, working to agreed schedules and standards and under the day-to-day direction of the Executive Officer.
