Blackpool Council offers many opportunities for employment, across a wider range of jobs than you might realise…
As an example:
Clare – Principal Surveyor (Capital Works)
"I have worked in Local Authorities since leaving school,at Blackpool since 1990. As I progressed my career, management training became important and I am currently
completing my MBA. I enjoy seeing customers satisfied with buildings we have delivered, especially those that really matter to the community such as nurseries and schools. The Council allows me to work and raise a family – initiatives such as
flexible working hours and home working enable me to juggle my work/life balance."
(see picture top right)
Kate – Modern Apprentice (Human Resources)
"I came to work for the Council four months ago because it’s a big organisation with lots of opportunity to work my way up to a higher role. I am enjoying my job in HR of looking after other modern apprentices – it’s very interesting and varied and
definitely something I’d like to pursue as a long-term career.
The job also allows me to also study for my NVQ in Business Administration which I do one day a week." |
