Our Commitment

We are 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 the organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to bring the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we are 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 increases annually until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
