Why it's great to work in our People and Culture department
Working as part of the People & Culture team means being part of a purpose-driven team that shapes the future of our organisation through meaningful, people-focused work.
We play a vital role in delivering the council’s strategic goals; whether it’s supporting managers with complex employee relations, leading inclusive recruitment, or championing wellbeing. Our work fosters a people-first culture where everyone can thrive.
We’re also at the forefront of digital transformation. Tools like our PowerBI HR App give managers real-time workforce insights, enabling smarter decisions and freeing up HR capacity for more strategic initiatives.
Every role, from Administrator to Advisor, is designed with growth in mind, supported by coaching, mentoring, and clear progression pathways.
We have a strategic voice at the executive level, ensuring HR insights shape key decisions. Our work in governance, data analytics, and planning is central to the council’s success.
Our roles
Our department offers diverse career paths across Workforce Development, Business Partnering, Talent Acquisition, Employee Relations and Change, Reward, and HR Operations.
Inclusion and wellbeing are at our core. We lead with empathy, supporting neurodiversity, mental health, and workplace fairness through evidence-based practices and responsive policies.
We also embrace flexible working. Whether remote, part-time, or hybrid, we focus on outcomes, not hours, trusting our people to deliver in ways that suit them best.
