This is an exciting time to join the Highways and Public Realm team at Herefordshire Council.

We’re transforming how highways and public realm services are delivered across Herefordshire and have brought them back under direct Council control for the first time in many years.

In this role you will provide technical support to the Streetworks and Licencing team in managing the network across Herefordshire. Whilst the role will be supporting all areas of the team, the main focuses will be on processing Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders and other applications, invoicing and resolving aged debt and administering routine and defect follow up inspections, essential to the effective delivery of this technical service.

• Be able to demonstrate effective experience of Office 365 (incl. Teams, Excel, Word & Powerpoint)
• Have the ability to organise a variety of different work streams, through prioritising and taking a methodical approach to tasks
• Have the ability to work on your own initiative as well as part of a team
• Have a positive and can-do attitude

• Career progression: clear pathways to progress
• Annual Leave: 31 days’ annual leave (pro rata) plus bank holidays. You can also purchase an additional 10 days per annum during the request period
• Flexible working: including the potential for job-sharing, part-time hours and agile working.
• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 access to support and counselling
• Payment of professional membership fees (based on role requirements)
• Pick your perks – our benefits include access to a range of retail, leisure, holiday and health benefits. This includes savings, cash back and discounts.

Herefordshire is big hearted, welcoming and friendly. We have strong and independent communities and idyllic countryside, situated in the Southwest Midlands and bordering Wales. The county sits between Worcestershire and the Malvern Hills to the east, and Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) in Wales to the west.

Historically Herefordshire has been the gateway to the Marches. We embrace partnership working. We are a member of the Marches Forward Partnership, which is a cross-border collaboration between Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Powys and Shropshire who are collectively working to secure funding to invest in the region.

The council priorities over the next four years are set out in the Council Plan, with four main areas;
