Start a career that makes a real change and work for your local council

In light of the recent Local Government Association (LGA) campaign for local government recruitment, Ashford Borough Council is asking its residents to consider making a difference from within and working with us.

With opportunities to progress your career in ways you may not have previously considered, Ashford Borough Council offers its residents the chance to either utilise their skillset or retrain and shine in a different capacity.

The council itself goes a lot deeper than you think, with hundreds of jobs making up the framework of what we do. These jobs, that come with a range of flexible working options, can help improve your work/life balance as well as taking your career to the next step.

Ultimately at the council, we want our residents to be proud of where they are and where they live. We want them to feel they have a say in what matters and the best way for them to do so is to be working with us.

With our training and development, we can really help push your career along, while giving you the satisfaction of knowing you’re leaving your mark to your local community at the same time.

In addition, there are several benefits to working in local government, such as a generous annual leave allowance, being part of the Local Government Pension Scheme and flexitime, amongst many others.

We thrive on making Ashford a better, safer place that’s an example community. With your help, we can make that happen.
