About us
Why Work at Newham Council?
At Newham Council, we are shaping a borough that is fairer, more inclusive, and full of opportunity. As one of the most diverse and dynamic areas of London, we take pride in fostering an environment where everyone—regardless of background, ability, or identity—can thrive and contribute to meaningful change.
We offer more than just a job; we provide careers with purpose. With a vast range of roles across multiple services, generous benefits, and a strong focus on wellbeing, professional development, and flexible working, we ensure our people feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work.
Newham is a place that champions equity. Our employee-led networks promote an inclusive culture, while our commitment to the Disability Confident scheme ensures fairness at every stage of recruitment and employment. Wellbeing is also at the heart of our organisation, with access to mental health resources, occupational health support, and staff-led forums.
If you want to be part of a forward-thinking, community-driven council that empowers its workforce and makes a tangible impact, we’d love for you to join us."
