Wychavon District Council

Wychavon District Council is a great place to work, with high levels of resident satisfaction and motivated staff who enjoy working for us. Located in south Worcestershire, the district boasts a beautiful natural environment, a rich heritage and plenty to do and see. The district is one of the best rural places to live in the West Midlands and is amongst the top 30 in the country. We pride ourselves on being a progressive organisation 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. We've gained recognition for major projects like building Pershore hospital and a Waitrose store, regenerating and reopening the Droitwich Canals, producing a book telling the stories of 52 successful local businesses and supporting events like the British Asparagus Festival and Pershore Plum Festival. 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. We share a Chief Executive/Managing Director and a joint management team with neighbouring Malvern Hills District Council. Whilst the two councils retain their own political structures and distinct identities, the joint management structure allows us to maximise 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.
