Why work for Stafford Borough?

It is the place to work if you want to make a positive difference to the Borough.

Working for us is not just any job - you will be playing a part in serving a whole community. It is impossible to do this without the dedication, commitment and professionalism of every one of our employees.

From day one you will receive a warm welcome followed by a comprehensive induction. It is important to us that you settle into our organisation as effectively and easily as possible.

We are a small authority and our roles within it can be very broad giving you variety, responsibility and interest. Being a small authority means we are very much one team - and a team which is supportive, innovative and flexible and where everyone‘s contribution is valued.

Whether you are looking for full or part time work in a professional, technical or manual field, an opportunity to make a real contribution, a change of direction, or if you are just starting out in your working life, we may well have a job that suits you.
