What do we want for our colleagues?
We want colleagues to be productive, enjoy what they do, support their health and wellbeing, recognise the contribution they make, and feel valued.
It's important that the Council is a place colleagues want to come to work and would recommend to others because they have a great work experience.
We want to be that employer who is fair, inclusive, encourages development, progression and autonomy, all of which are in line with our organisational values.
