At Swale Borough Council, we don’t just offer jobs—we offer a chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local people, while being part of a team that values and supports you. We’re a forward-looking council with a strong sense of community and a genuine commitment to the wellbeing and development of our staff.

We offer competitive salaries with opportunities for progression and performance-based recognition. Our pension scheme, part of the Local Government Pension Scheme, provides a secure foundation for your future, with built-in protection for your family too.

We understand that work and life need to fit together, not compete—and that's why we offer a wide range of flexible working arrangements. Whether it's flexitime, compressed hours, home working or part-time roles, we do our best to make work work for you.

Our generous leave package includes extra time off over Christmas and the ability to buy additional annual leave, because we know that time to rest and recharge is essential. And when it comes to your career, we won’t just sit back—we’ll actively invest in you. From professional development and leadership training to secondments and mentoring, we offer varied routes for learning and growth.

There are also plenty of practical perks: support with professional fees, car and cycle schemes, long service awards, and discounts at local leisure centres and national retailers.
