The Suffolk Coastal district is a great place to live and
work. If you are thinking of moving into our area we have produced
a brief introduction for you which will give you a
flavour of what the district has to offer.
This Council has a strong track record of meeting the challenges
of finding innovative ways of balancing the needs and demands of
its residents in an ever tougher financial climate. It is a
duty of all councils to aim to improve their area’s quality of life
but there can be few other places than Suffolk Coastal where our
corporate strapline ‘where quality of life counts’ can be taken as
fact, rather than a cliché. Our staff play a central role in
achieving
our vision.
Suffolk Coastal has retained its
status as an
Investor in People (new window) since 1999
and received praise at its last review for the fact that
improving performance is at the core of the Council.

Equal opportunities
Suffolk Coastal has an equal opportunities policy and
aims to ensure that job applicants and employees are not
disadvantaged because of their gender, race, colour, religion,
disability or sexual orientation. We undertake equal opportunities
monitoring to make sure that our policy is effective.
We are very keen to encourage people from under-represented
groups to apply for jobs at the Council. At present, women are
under-represented at senior management levels and ethnic minorities
are under-represented in the workforce as a whole.
The Council operates a flexi-time scheme for many jobs and some
full time posts may be suitable for job sharing. If you are
interested in flexible working options, please ask what is possible
for the particular vacancy you are considering.
If you decide to apply for a job with the Council, please let us
know if you have a disability or long term medical condition. We
will make reasonable adjustments to the selection procedure and/or
to the job itself, if needed because of a disability.
