Welcome

Thank you for your interest in a Director at Telford & Wrekin Council.

Here’s a flavour of the work we do in Telford and Wrekin as part of our commitment to protect, care and invest to create a better borough.

Telford & Wrekin Council is a great place to work, where colleagues are valued and ambition is embraced.

We absolutely know our colleagues are the Council’s greatest and most valuable asset, so we do our best to invest in the workforce, promoting and nurturing development whenever we can.

This means having the right people, with the right skills, in the right roles so we can get on with delivering the excellent services that residents and businesses in the borough expect from us.

And because we have a culture of innovation, every employee is encouraged and empowered to bring fresh ideas to the table.

It’s because our employees are at the heart of the council that we work hard to attract, train and retain the very best people. We do this by providing clear career pathways, with support and development to make sure we encourage, grow and make best use of the talent and skills that we have.

We like to think of ourselves as a family at Telford & Wrekin Council and we have many ways we come together from teams and services across the Council: we have a staff book group, various staff support groups, an annual staff quiz, staff bingo events, staff volunteering opportunities, staff and family thank you events and more!

And we celebrate colleagues at our annual employee awards. Each year we receive hundreds of nominations for staff members across the organisation, taking around 150 shortlisted nominees forward to our employee awards ceremony where we recognise and share their success stories, before presenting around 20 awards to individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond in supporting our communities, both across the Borough and within our own organisation.
