Working for us
Shropshire Council – “Better for everyone”
As well as being on of the best performing councils in the country, we have also been named as one of the best councils to work for. We were ranked as the top county council, and 16th highest overall in the ‘best councils to work for’ list, published by The Times.
There is a huge range of rewarding career opportunities available with Shropshire Council; for example accountancy, architecture, surveying, human resources, planning, trading standards, librarianship, teaching and social care – to name but a few.
Our employee benefits package includes flexible annual leave arrangements, reduced rates at our leisure centres, free car parking, excellent training and development opportunities and a contributory final salary pension scheme. The council also has Investors in People status.
We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer. Applications are encouraged from all sections of the community, and we recognise the benefits of a workforce which reflects the diverse community which we serve. There is no upper age limit for job applicants, we welcome applications from people of all ages and backgrounds.
As a disability symbol user, we are positive about employing people with a disability and operate a job interview guarantee scheme which applicants with a disability may wish to access.
