Proud, passionate, ambitious - it couldn't be a more exciting time to work for Cotswold District Council. We're searching for the very best people to join us.

The Cotswold District is a great place and we are rightly proud of our businesses, communities and residents. We're busy recreating a council that's pro-active and responsive to the needs of our residents and businesses in a fast-changing environment.

Your input will have lasting impact on local people and places.

Our approach is agile and modern. We're constantly improving how we deliver services and use technology, and you'll have the freedom to influence how we evolve. Your ideas and insight will help shape the future of Building Control at the council.

• Carry out plan checks and site inspections for a wide variety of applications
• Advise and collaborate with developers, agents, and homeowners
• Champion a proactive, responsive, and customer-first service
• Help shape our evolving Building Control processes and digital tools
