About

Greater Cambridge Shared Waste Service is seeking a supplier to deliver a targeted, high-impact recruitment campaign to hire qualified HGV drivers (and crew members). GCSWS, a partnership between South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council that delivers waste collection across the Greater Cambridge area, is rolling out weekly food waste collections in 2026 to approximately 140,000 households and expanding operations. Although recruitment is already underway, workforce turnover including retirements means an additional 20 HGV drivers are urgently required to meet the demand for 70 drivers across all services. The campaign should generate high-quality applications from licensed HGV drivers, position GCSWS as an employer of choice in the region, and build awareness of the benefits of working for a public service provider.
