It's all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act - for the effective performance of a customer-facing role).

Must have the ability to travel around the Borough.

Your next package


As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.
