You will be responsible for maintaining the highest level in customer care in line with our service standards.

This is an ideal role for a new graduate looking for Local Authority experience.

So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change.
