A new era for Local Government in Buckinghamshire
Now in its third year, Buckinghamshire Council brings together the best of the previous five councils to create positive change for local people, communities, and businesses. We are firmly focused on the future and have made a clear commitment to serve residents better and to provide stronger representation for Buckinghamshire, both locally and nationally.
Not only are we one of the biggest local authorities in the UK, but we are also part of a wide network of partners spanning both public, third and private sectors. Working in partnership with businesses, staff, and other public service partners is in our DNA, and collectively we have big ambitions for our County and our residents.
Our Vision:
Our vision is to make Buckinghamshire the best place to live, raise a family, work, and do business. In support of this aim, we have created four key priorities for our residents, employees, businesses, service users and councillors, which are:
- strengthening our communities;
- improving our environment;
- protecting the vulnerable;
- increasing prosperity.

Working for Buckinghamshire Council
At Buckinghamshire Council, we have a set of values chosen by employees that represent what we are – Proud, Ambitious, Collaborative and Trustworthy. Our work matters, and our residents are at the heart of what we do. As one of the biggest local authorities in the UK, we are part of a network of partners spanning both public and private sectors. By working for us, you are part of something bigger, and you’ll have the chance to make a positive difference to the communities we serve.
Our services are wide-ranging, meaning that the opportunities for staff to grow and progress are endless. Colleagues’ career development is supported, and we believe in growing our own talent. Staff are offered a wide range of pay and financial benefits, from a generous employer pension scheme in line with the Local Government Pension Scheme, and staff discounts at local gyms and restaurants – we recognise and reward you.
Everyone has a voice, and we listen, which is why regular communications and staff-led networks are so important to us. We know that our biggest strength comes from the people that work for us, and that’s why we’re working hard to ensure we continue to be an accessible and inclusive organisation. From dedicated staff networks overseen by our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group, to proudly standing as a Disability Confident employer, it’s important to us that all our colleagues feel engaged, listened to, and valued.
Our offer of flexible working empowers a productive and happy workforce and allows employees to combine work with other responsibilities and commitments. We believe our workforce should reflect the diverse communities we serve in Buckinghamshire and are looking for like-minded individuals to join us in promoting equality, fairness, and inclusion for everyone.
