Seven Resourcing is working with Leicestershire County Council to recruit for 3 Tree Surgeons within their Planting and Maintenance Service.

Umbrella rate of pay is £15.81 per hour.

Job Purpose:

To work as part of a team to deliver a best value, customer-focussed service throughout Leicestershire and occasionally, surrounding counties.

You take responsibility, at all times, for your own appearance on site, ensuring you adhere to the requirements for PPE which, if they differ from the norm, will be explained to you during the course of your briefing, and will observe, at all times, the safe working practices to ensure your own safety and that of your colleagues.
