The authority is recruiting a new wave of seasonal staff to help keep the city looking picture‑perfect through the busy summer months, when thousands of residents and visitors flock to Swansea’s beaches, parks and beauty spots.
Four Seasonal Floral Decorations Operatives and thirteen Seasonal Cleansing Operatives are up for grabs, offering the chance to spend the warmer months working across Swansea Bay’s coast and countryside as part of the teams that keep the city blooming and spotless.
‘Our seasonal staff make an enormous difference’
Cllr Cyril Anderson, Cabinet Member for Environment and Neighbourhood Services, said the roles are vital to the way the city looks and feels during its busiest season.
“Every summer, our seasonal staff make an enormous contribution to the way Swansea looks and feels,” he said. “Their work helps keep our streets clean, our parks vibrant and our floral displays thriving. These roles are ideal for people who enjoy practical outdoor work and want to take pride in helping their community look its very best.”
Flower power and frontline cleaning
Floral operatives will help install, water and maintain the city’s much‑loved summer displays — from hanging baskets to park borders — ensuring Swansea bursts with colour right through the season.
Cleansing operatives will take on frontline duties including litter picking, sweeping, emptying bins and supporting the wider clean‑up effort during peak visitor periods.
Both roles offer competitive pay, the chance to work as part of friendly, hardworking teams, and the opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in one of the council’s busiest services.
Applications now open
The deadline for applications is 24 February 2026, with full details available on the Swansea Council website.
