Lead the transformation of the local Authority green spaces and street scenes. Make a lasting impact in your community.

My client, a Local authority, is looking for a dedicated and proactive Green Space and Street Scene Supervisor to join Environmental and Community Services. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll oversee the delivery of high-quality services across parks, play areas, and public spaces - ensuring they are safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone.

• Supervise teams working across iconic well known green spaces
• Manage grounds maintenance, play area inspections, sports pitch upkeep, landscaping, and street cleansing.

• Support borough-wide events with traffic management and site preparation.
• Contribute to the design and improvement of play areas and street scene enhancements.
• Ensure compliance with environmental legislation and council policies.
• Monitor contractor performance and maintain inspection schedules.

This role plays a key part in delivering the council’s environmental campaign - our commitment to nature restoration, tree planting, and enhancing biodiversity across the borough. You’ll help balance formal and informal green space management, supporting a greener, wilder Erewash for future generations.
