Operational Support Performance and Improvement Assistant
Seafield Depot

Salary: £26,337 - £28,835
Hours: 36 per week, 52 weeks

We're looking for an organised and technically literate Operational Support Assistant to join our Neighbourhood Environment Services team. In this vital role, you'll help support the smooth running of frontline waste and cleansing operations by managing internal systems, analysing data, and ensuring accurate customer information.

You'll work closely with supervisors and managers to monitor performance, extract reports, manage enquiries, and keep key systems updated. The ideal candidate will have strong IT skills, attention to detail, and the ability to solve problems and interpret data.

The advertisement will comprise four positions distributed across two depots, divided into two groups of two.

* Seafield Household Waste Recycling Centre

* Bankhead Household Waste Recycling Centre

If you're ready to play a key part in supporting essential city services, we'd love to hear from you.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
