HR Apprentice

Wychavon and Malvern District Councils now operate under a joint management team, with many of the departments sharing resources.

We pride ourselves on being progressive organisations who spend our time and energy on what we know matters to our residents and communities – things like creating jobs, keeping the streets clean, helping people feel safe and preventing homelessness.

The two councils have a shared Chief Executive/Managing Director and a joint management team. Whilst they retain their own political structures and distinct identities, the joint management structure allows us to maximize the opportunity to deliver a wide range of good value services to our customers and communities, and operate and develop shared services and partnership arrangements with each other and with other councils.

Our staff are at the heart of what we do, and as a result we are always looking to recruit, develop and retain the very best talent we can find. That's why, as well as a satisfying job, we offer a range of attractive benefits, such as flexible working arrangements, generous holiday entitlements, a pension scheme, plenty of opportunities for personal development, and discounted gym membership.
