Our mission

We work hard to secure a positive and sustainable future for the city. This will be achieved through decisive leadership, partnerships and the support of active and empowered communities.

We are committed to:

• providing the good quality services that people need
• actively seeking to develop worthwhile and sustainable partnerships at a local, national and international level
• developing the full potential of the city and its people by being outward looking, enhancing its image, celebrating its achievements and building on the pride people have in their communities
• promoting social inclusion and effecting an urban renaissance
• rejuvenating the city's economy and environment
• supporting individuals and communities to create safe and healthy environments in which they can flourish
• learning from others and seeking best practice (for example responding effectively to the challenges posed by the Corporate Governance Inspection)

Our core values

• communicating openly and honestly
• putting people and communities at the heart of everything we do
• ensuring people are treated equally and that difference is valued
• valuing and investing in people as the council's key resource
• encouraging local democracy and public accountability
• being responsive to changing aspirations, priorities and opportunities
• striving for excellence
• concentrating on outcomes, not process
• contributing to and taking an interest in all new initiatives within the city

Jobs

We provide a range of benefits to motivate, reward and recognise the valuable work of our employees.

The range of benefits available to employees can help achieve a better balance between the demands of your job and those in your personal life. (School staff should confirm which policies and procedures have been adopted by their School).

One of the fundamental benefits of working for the Council is the job satisfaction you get from working to improve the lives of the local people we serve through the services we provide for them.

The world of work is changing rapidly. The use of new technology and enhanced customer expectations in our 24/7 society, an ageing population and increasing caring responsibilities, create many challenges for both employers and employees. This means that we all need to think about creative ways in which we can “work smarter not harder”, ensuring you can give your best at work and still have the time and energy to enjoy a fulfilling personal life. This is equally true for all our employees, not just those who are parents of young children or those with other caring responsibilities, but for everyone, whatever their job role or personal circumstances.
