Working for East Sussex County Council

East Sussex is a great place to live and work. It is home to just under half a million people, many of whom enjoy the variety of life that East Sussex brings.

Working for East Sussex County Council also brings variety. As the major supplier of a number of local services to the people of East Sussex, we offer a range of opportunities in:

• Children’s Services
• Adult Social Care
• Transport & the Environment
• Community Services
• Economy & Performance
• Internal support e.g. finance, ICT, personnel and legal services

Our vision is to become a modern, efficient authority that delivers high quality core services at the lowest sustainable cost. We are already on our journey to achieve this with our achievements being recognised by our staff, by Government, but most importantly by the pubic. The national user satisfaction survey carried out recently showed East Sussex residents to be the most satisfied of any County Council with 75% of local residents saying they are satisfied, or more than satisfied, with the way we run our services – an increase of 9% since 2001 (when most authorities’ satisfaction levels have fallen).

This is only the beginning of the improvements that are needed to become an excellent authority. We now need you and other likeminded, hard working, caring and motivated individuals to help us on the rest of our journey. We want to make a real difference to the lives of people across East Sussex, and if you do too, then come and join us.

What can we offer you? Flexible working, learning and development opportunities, a friendly and supportive environment, final salary pension scheme and above all, a commitment to ensuring equality of opportunity for all staff, applicants and the community as a whole.
