Working for us

At the Royal Borough, we have an exciting vision to build a sustainable borough of opportunity and innovation for our community.

Our employee benefits

At RBWM we don't just offer jobs - we offer a rewarding experience. 

Our employees enjoy a vibrant package of benefits designed to support their wellbeing both in and out of the workplace. We believe that when people thrive communities flourish, and that's exactly what we are building across the borough.

We celebrate the diversity of our workforce and understand that no two journeys are the same. This is why our benefits and policies are thoughtfully crafted, to meet a wide range of needs, helping every individual feel valued, supported and empowered.
