Croydon Council

About Croydon

Croydon is a borough on the move—an ambitious, evolving area that’s fast becoming one of London’s most exciting places to live and work. With exceptional transport links, a thriving cultural scene, and major investment in regeneration, we are shaping a dynamic and modern urban environment.

At Croydon Council, we are proud to be at the heart of this transformation. We are committed to creating a great place to live, work, and grow, with billions being invested in new homes, jobs, and state-of-the-art developments like Westfield, Fairfield Halls, and Boxpark. Our borough is a unique mix of green open spaces, independent restaurants, creative hubs, and historic markets, offering an unbeatable quality of life.

As an employer, we champion collaboration, inclusion, and innovation. Whether you're looking to progress your career, be part of exciting projects, or make a real difference in the community, Croydon Council is the place to do it. If you want to work somewhere that values your skills, supports your development, and offers the chance to be part of something bigger, we’d love to hear from you.

Our Culture

At Croydon Council, we’re passionate about building a collaborative, inclusive, and forward-thinking workplace where everyone has the chance to thrive. Our culture isn’t just a set of principles on paper—it’s something we actively cultivate through strong values, meaningful staff engagement, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

When you join us, you become part of One Team, working across departments and with our partners to make a tangible difference in the community. We take pride in serving Croydon’s residents, using resources wisely and ensuring that every decision reflects honesty, accountability, and fairness.

We don’t just talk about inclusion—we live it. Through our Culture Board, six staff network groups, and a dedicated team of Culture Ambassadors, we create opportunities for all voices to be heard and valued. Whether you’re looking to develop your skills, influence change, or be part of something bigger, Croydon Council offers an environment where you can grow and make an impact.

If you want to work somewhere that recognises your contributions, encourages innovation, and puts people at the heart of everything, then Croydon Council is the place for you.
