Commitment to employee diversity
The council is committed to achieving a balanced workforce that reflects the diversity of the local community and providing opportunity for all employees to train and develop to reach their maximum potential.
Applications are particularly welcomed from:
- Women in senior management
- Disabled people
- Ethnic minorities
- Supply teachers
We have an ongoing need for reliable supply teachers who are available on a day-to-day basis. South Gloucestershire is part of the collaborative 'Go Teaching' service that provides qualified staff for a number of authorities in the south-west.
One registration entitles teachers to work for any of the participating councils. Simply call 0845 601 2536 or visit their website for an application form. Supply work can be undertaken as soon as proper statutory checks have been conducted successfully.
Leadership enables us to not only understand and represent local people's needs, but to meet them.
We take a partnership approach to working with other organisations to meet the needs and concerns of local people.
- We're committed to getting involved - working with, listening to and involving local people in our decision-making and actions
- Good communication is essential to providing clear information about what we do and how we do it
