**About Torbay Council**

**Torbay is made up of the three coastal towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, each with a unique character. Our population is in excess of 136,000 making it the second largest urban area in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.**

We have a stunning natural environment with 22 miles of coastline. There is great access to the sea from a number of harbours and beaches with our communities also enjoying the benefits of an urban style of living.

Our coastline provides countless opportunities for outdoor activities. In the summer months you’ll always see plenty of activity: swimming, boating, kayaking, paragliding to name but a few. And if a more steady pace appeals to you then there’s plenty of opportunity to try your hand at fishing or just take in the stunning views on the South West Coast Path.

In addition, access to the countryside, Dartmoor and more remote parts of the county could not be easier. A new road infrastructure gives fast and reliable access to all parts of the UK, including Exeter and Bristol airports.

Our rich geological, historical and cultural heritage has gained and retained international recognition as a UNESCO Global Geopark since designation in 2007. Other jewels in the Torbay’s crown include Agatha Christie, Torre Abbey, a wonderful food and drink offer, many tourist attractions and a busy events calendar, including the Annual English Riviera Air Show and sailing events.

With a constant influx of visitors there is a fantastic range of restaurants and cafes to cater to all tastes. Unsurprisingly, there is plenty of fresh seafood on offer and we are known as England’s Seafood Coast.

We have high quality, high performing primary and secondary schools and South Devon College is recognised as one of the top further education colleges in England, with aspirations of achieving university status.

Whilst tourism and fishing will always be a central part of the local economy, that’s not the full picture. Torbay hosts globally significant technology businesses operating in photonics, marine industries, nanotechnology and medi-tech. That high-tech economy is central to our mission - to become a council that supports, enables and empowers its residents, its communities and its partnerships.

**Benefits**
At Torbay, we are very proud to have a workforce that is committed and hard-working. In return we can offer the following:

- Minimum 25 days annual leave plus additional bank holidays and extra days for long service
- Equal pay
- A Career Average Re-valued Earnings (CARE) pension scheme
- A diverse range of career opportunities
- Work Life Balance options including a flexi-scheme, career break scheme, home working, flexible retirement
- Family friendly benefits such flexible working, paid maternity, adoption and paternity leave schemes (where eligible), paid leave for fertility treatment
- Equal Opportunities policies
- Competitive salaries
- A healthy work environment which includes an Occupational Health and a Counselling & Employee Assistance Programme and a Wellbeing at Work Information Toolkit
- Employee Reward Scheme - online and in-store access to a range of local and national discounts exclusively for our employees
- Professional Coaching Service for employees development
- Learning and development opportunities to support personal and career development
- Cycle scheme
- Eye care vouchers
