The council promotes equality, diversity, and wellbeing through internal support groups, mental health initiatives, and staff recognition schemes. Employees often describe the culture as positive, respectful, and truly collaborative.

The council places a strong emphasis on flexibility. Staff can benefit from flexi-time, compressed hours, job-sharing, and up to 50% remote working for eligible roles. These arrangements help support a healthy work-life balance and are frequently highlighted by employees as one of the top reasons to work here.

Competitive Pay & Benefits

Employees enjoy generous annual leave (26–29 days, increasing with service), plus bank holidays. The council also offers a secure and competitive pension through the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Additional benefits include retailer discounts, free on-site parking, and green travel incentives.
