Do it for clear and concise communication
We rely on professional and support roles to make sure our services are delivered to the people who need them.
We deal with a lot of employees and budgets and therefore need lawyers, accountants, human resources officers and administrators to make sure our services run smoothly.
As a local authority, we also have roles you might not find elsewhere. For example, democratic support officers to assist with the business of elected representatives and scrutiny committees, registrars to keep official records of the county’s population and a coroner to deal with inquests into individual deaths.
