If you would like an accessible version of a job description then please contact the Human Resources team.

Candidates must possess the necessary right to work authorisation to enable them to work for Chesterfield Borough Council. Regrettably, we are unable to provide sponsorship or assume sponsorship of an employment visa at this juncture.

We are currently looking for the perfect candidate to join our service for a fixed 12-month period as a parks development officer. 

The role will coordinate and deliver sports, recreation and community events across the borough’s parks and greenspaces. Our ideal candidate will have a background in community or sports engagement and a passion for well managed parks and open spaces. 

You will be required to work some weekend and bank holidays, so flexibility is essential. You will need to be a proactive and positive person who can be helpful and friendly to our local community and who will contribute to the commercial activities we undertake. You will have a positive influence on the reputation of the service. 

The role will involve driving council vehicles so a full driving licence in essential.
