Investing in You

You are our greatest asset

We value our people because they're valuable to the communities we serve. So, when we say you're our greatest asset, you can believe it. But we go further than that. We back up our commitment to you by investing in your development and rewarding your dedication, customer care and overall professionalism.

Skills that add to your CV

Across our Services, we believe in equipping our people with skills that they can use in a variety of different roles - whether here within the council or elsewhere. Similarly, we welcome those who can bring us skills from other professions - skills they can transfer with great success to any one of a number of opportunities with us.

Growing our leaders of tomorrow

Another way that we prove how important our people are to us is by making sure that those who have the right blend of talent and skills are given every opportunity to train as future leaders of our organisation. It means that when the time is right, we look to promote our best people to more senior roles whenever possible.

A wealth of training opportunities

You'd be amazed by the number of training programmes that are available to you when you work in local government such as Professional trainee schemes in Law, Accountancy and Human Resources.

There are numerous courses that can help you develop your skills in a wide variety of professional and personal areas. Such courses can lead to qualifications that enable you to become a member of a professional body.
