About us

We have big ambitions for our Borough and were looking to hear from talented and dedicated HR leaders who have the skills and enthusiasm to join us at what promises to be an incredibly exciting time for Stockton-on-Tees. Our workforce delivers excellent services for our residents and businesses every single day of the year. Our staff work hard, are loyal and we all share our pride in serving the people of the Borough.

Whilst we face the same workforce challenges experienced right across the country, including stretched financial budgets, resourcing and retaining staff in scarce labour markets, and implementing new ways of agile working, we are on the cusp of a new dawn. This is an invigorating, great place to work and we are excited by what the future holds - looking ahead with real optimism.

Council services have the privilege and responsibility of supporting people and their families when they need it the most, whilst shaping places that enable our communities to thrive. Our services are large, complex, multifaceted and highly regulated. This creates an interesting human resource dynamic. The integration and co-reliance of public services is highly complex and ever changing. Strategic workforce planning and partnerships unlock resources and solutions to maximise our impact in this great borough.
