**Working at Dorset Council**

This is a unique opportunity to join a brand new council in Dorset - home to the spectacular Jurassic Coast and thriving market towns and villages with a strong sense of community and identity.

On 1 April 2019, five district and borough councils and the county council were replaced by the new Dorset Council which will deliver more efficient, accessible and modern public services.

You will have the opportunity to build your career in a modern, flexible and inclusive organisation, and this is an exciting time to join - at the start of our journey together.

Dorset Council is committed to making our recruitment process barrier-free, and as inclusive as possible for everyone.
