Do it for developing communities and ensuring they are at the heart of everything we do
Communities is a broad job area and could see you working in a variety of roles. We employ people to help develop local businesses and social enterprises, help preserve our county’s ecology and protect residents from scams and faulty goods.
Being such a large county, we are in the position of dealing with rural, urban and coastal communities and the issues they face.
Community
Being part of the community, building a fairer community. Whether town, city or smallest hamlet, each comes with its own unique challenges and opportunities.
Why we do it for Devon
“I joined Devon as a graduate after completing a physics degree at the University of Exeter.
Devon encourages career development and progression and since joining I have been able to advance my career. My work has allowed me to gain Chartered Engineer status with the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) through the career appraisal route.
Devon’s approach to flexible working is amazing. I have always been an ‘early bird’, so being able to start work from 7am and finish at3.30pm has always appealed to me.”
