Our people

You will be joining a great team. In our last staff survey, 91% of our people say they have good working relationships with their colleagues. This is fantastic because our people are at the heart of our culture. We are inclusive – this is really important to us and we are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer

Testimonials

Here are just some of the reasons why people choose to come and join us:

• “Good feedback from friends and a lot better benefits compared to my current employer”.
• “A promising apprenticeship close to me, in a field I’m interested in, with a clearly laid out career progression”.
• “I worked for Worcestershire County Council (WCC) ever since I left school, right up until I had my family…now my family are all growing up and I wanted to get back to what I’ve always known, working within the care sector, so it was a no brainer to apply for a job working back for WCC. A job for life, fantastic training opportunities, rates of pay and incentives.”
• “The family community of the County Council”
• “A good company for security and flexibility. My interview was friendly, and I always felt welcome to join as a driver and training was detailed and well led.”

Flexibility

Everyone says they offer flexible working but we have been doing it for years and it really matters to us. It really matters to our people too – it's one of the things they value most about working here. Whether our people work from the office, home or other sites, it's what they do rather than where they do it that matters to us. As long as we deliver, we're pretty flexible about when our people work too

We'll help you to relocate.

We offer allowances of up to £10,000 to eligible recruits to help with removal expenses, legal fees, estate agents' fees, disturbance expenses and additional accommodation costs

Our benefits

Some of our standout benefits include:

• great holiday entitlement. As well as bank holidays, you'll get 26 days paid holiday (pro rata for part-time staff). This goes up to 31 days when you have been with us for 5 years. If you get more than 26 days where you work now, don't worry because if you join us without a break, we'll match your holiday up to 31 days
• brilliant pension scheme. The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a nationwide, career average pension scheme and is a valuable part of the pay and reward package for employees working in local government
