A proactive, flexible and solutions-focused approach, with a commitment to continuous improvement.

Experience in learning and development, workforce planning, organisational development or learning management systems would be beneficial, but we're equally interested in candidates with transferable skills and a willingness to develop.

Why Join Us?

This is an excellent development opportunity for someone looking to enhance their experience in learning and development, workforce planning and organisational development.

You will gain valuable experience working across a range of Council services, contribute to key workforce development priorities, and help make a real difference to the learning and development opportunities available to our workforce.
