We deliver more than 350 services to the people of Wiltshire, from public health and social care to planning and street maintenance, schools and libraries. Our vision is to build stronger communities and our EPIC values underpin what we do, what we stand for and how we work.
The council is a great place to work - we offer a competitive, award-winning benefits package and a can-do culture where talented people thrive. Plus, with its stunning countryside and superb community spirit, Wiltshire is a fantastic place to live and work. It has a resilient economy, good schools, and one of the lowest crime rates in the country.
Being an inclusive organisation is one element of ‘Our Identity’ and our Inclusive Workforce Strategy sets out how we create an environment where everyone feels engaged and able to flourish, where we treat each other with respect, celebrating our differences and the value they bring.
