We are working in a hybrid way at this time and those who are able to work from home will be permitted to do so, as and when necessary. Our modern open-plan offices are in Edinburgh City Centre, 5 minutes’ walk from Waverley Station.

The Council provides a wide and far reaching variety of services making us unique as an employer, and our varied rewards cater to the needs and wants of our employees. At our core are our values which describe the behaviours that all Council employees are expected to demonstrate in the workplace:

• Respect

• Integrity

• Flexibility

If you are interested, you should bring a relevant experience, a strong sense of customer service, excellent communication skills, a clear understanding of quality assurance and an appetite for project delivery and continuous improvement.

If successful, two references will be required.

If you wish to discuss any aspects of the role or have any questions prior to applying, please contact Gary Gilruth – 07885 477 546.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

Requirements

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours – The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
