Current vacanciesOur place of work
People here care about the borough in a way that goes beyond the job description.
There’s pride in keeping things running, in helping residents feel supported, and in seeing the town and its communities flourish. That shared pride shows up in the small things as much as the big ones.
You’ll find people who:
- speak plainly and honestly, rather than hiding behind jargon
- care about getting things done for residents, not just “doing their job”
- value collaboration over hierarchy – good ideas can come from anywhere
- are open about the challenges, and willing to work together to solve them
We’re not perfect. There are days when it’s busy and challenging.
We’re committed to learning and making this a place where people can do good work and feel good about doing it.
An Award-winning Council
We celebrate the contributions people make - from everyday wins to wider recognition such as annual staff awards, local awards and borough achievements.
Whether you're joining us for your first role or looking for the next step in your career, there’s room to grow here; and people who’ll help you along the way.
People join us for different reasons – purpose, development, stability and location.

Hear from our people
The benefit of a small organisation is you get people who have worked in various teams and then have a broader knowledge.
I really feel that we make a real difference to real people's lives.
Everybody's very friendly, and there's no pressure on people to be anything other than themselves.
I love the atmosphere, the trust.
