Our Values

The values have been created as part of ‘Our People Our Plan’ our ongoing programme of internal improvement, aimed at providing a clear focus for the organisation and making us an employer of choice.

Put simply, our staff values are the principles that will provide us with purpose and direction and help manage our interactions with the public and amongst ourselves. They should guide the way in which you and your colleagues conduct yourselves.

The values that we see guiding our staff are -

• People: We put our colleagues and our communities at the heart of everything we do.
• Unity: We are one Council and achieve more when we support, encourage and value each other.
• Trust: We trust, respect and empower each other and act with honesty and integrity.
• Ownership: We take personal and shared responsibility, are transparent, and are accountable for our actions and our impact.
• Creativity: We embrace innovative solutions with a drive to improve ways of working.

Everybody at this organisation - whatever your job -  will have a role to play in ensuring these values become part of everything we do – and as the Corporate Leadership team we are looking forward to the future, working alongside staff to embed these values.
