The Code of Practice on the English language requirement for public sector workers, Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016, requires that Councils ensure that all candidates applying for customer facing posts must be assessed in order to establish their fluency in English. 

The criteria under special knowledge and experience on the job profile which is shown in this advert, outlines what level of fluency you will be expected to demonstrate.  Therefore, it is essential that you provide examples in your application. 

Bradford and its extensive district is an award winning, cultural destination and one of the youngest, most vibrant places in the country. Combine a UNESCO City of Film and Salts Mill World Heritage Site with wild and beautiful moorland, throw in world class artists such as David Hockney, and literary greats such as the Brontës, coupled with a city packed with a rich and varied mix of cultures and heritages and you have Bradford!

You will be required to use hand tools in your daily work and be able to undertake accurate measurements of work and complete records. 

You must be able to work well within a small team, be self-motivated and work without supervision.

You will be required to take part in daytime and out of hours work on winter maintenance/gritting and other highway emergency works and be on an emergency rota for out of hours work during the winter period.

The post is graded at Band 6 although 2.5 hours overtime is contracted every week and a generous standby allowance is paid during the winter period. Overtime will be available although this will be weather dependent.

A clean relevant driving licence is required, HGV licence C, although licence class C1 / C1E may be considered if other relevant experience can be demonstrated.
