Working for the Council

Our Borough stretches from the edge of the Medway towns to the edge of Canterbury, we serve a population of 123,000 people spread across an area of 144 square miles.

We employ over 380 people across a range of service areas, from clerical assistants and beach cleaners to solicitors, planners and engineers. So whether you're a school leaver looking for your first job, a returner ready to come back to work part-time or someone interested in building a long-term career with us, we might have something to suit you. In whatever capacity you join us, you'll be making a direct contribution to improving the lives of local people.

We aim to be a caring and forward thinking employer. For many posts we offer flexible working and job sharing. Our pay scales have incremental points and annual cost of living awards. Other benefits include a 'final salary' local government pension scheme, generous annual and flexi-leave, staff discounts and a car lease scheme for qualifying posts. We may also consider relocation expenses, depending on the role.

Providing the best services means employing the best people, so we invest in our staff with ongoing training and development. We believe in working in partnership with our customers, striving constantly for ways to improve our services.

Above all, we're committed to making the district a great place to live and work.
