Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

There are also posts available within the Roads Team, the Climate Ready Streetscene Team, Building Standards and our Health & Social Care Partnership. Finally there’s an opportunity for a Graduate Apprentice in Civil Engineering.

East Dunbartonshire’s Modern Apprenticeship Programme has been running for almost a decade and this year marks one of the biggest intakes yet.

The posts are open to East Dunbartonshire residents or those who attended an East Dunbartonshire Secondary School aged 16-24 years (or 16-29 if disabled or care experienced).

Council Leader, Gordan Low, said,

Modern Apprenticeships offer so much to candidates who are looking for the chance to enter the workforce while continuing to study and acquire new skills. The Council has a proud track record of employing Modern Apprentices who make a valued contribution and often go on to permanent and promoted positions.

“Successful candidates will be supported by experienced colleagues to help them learn the ropes and progress through their studies while learning on the job. I’d encourage anyone who is interested in these opportunities to apply now and take the first step to a rewarding career in local government.”
