Our people

Celebrating Success 2018 award ceremony
Our workforce is as diverse as the population we serve and the services we provide. Town planners, refuse collectors, caterers, leisure workers, accountants and even zoo keepers are all part of our mix – the range of jobs is huge.
No surprise then that our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. But there are common themes too – service ethic, team work, professional pride and the desire to go that extra mile for our citizens.
Delivering and celebrating success is integral to our way of thinking.
As an employer we understand the importance of recognising outstanding personal and team performance. We want our people to achieve their full potential so we’re fully committed to highlighting and show casing innovation, accomplishments and good practice.
And we invest in our future too – our Apprenticeship Scheme is renowned for providing very real training opportunities for those looking for their first job or a change in career.
