A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.&nbsp;

Above all, you’re committed to equality, diversity, and ensuring residents remain at the heart of everything we do. You may not have direct local government experience, but you need to understand how councils work, and our social, economic and political drivers.&nbsp;
<h3>Working for Haringey</h3>
At Haringey Council we are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce so welcome applications from all ethnicities and communities so that we continue to make a difference to our residents and community.&nbsp; Our benefits package includes a leave entitlement of 31 days + bank holidays, potential hybrid working opportunities, health and wellbeing support, a generous local government pension scheme and a range of discount schemes across leisure and culture that provide both financial and money-saving discounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
