• The ability to communicate and build relationships with high profile businesses

It is for this reason that Keep Britain Tidy has flexible and supportive policies for all our staff, and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. We also recognise that a diverse workforce yields the best results.  We embrace all the different identities in the UK and we want our workforce to reflect that.
