Jobs With Tameside
See below for list of job vacancies
Tameside, situated between Manchester city centre and the Peak District - offers an excellent career to innovative and forward-looking staff.
In the annual Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA), Tameside has been awarded the two top ratings of four stars and is judged to be 'improving strongly'. Tameside is one of only ten authorities in the country and the only one in the North West to achieve this. So Tameside has been independently judged to be the best in the North West.
Tameside provides a mix of urban and rural living, with the peace and quiet of the countryside minutes from vibrant night-life and culture. It's a friendly and hard-working place. Inward investment is at an all-time high and the council has won many awards for its customer service and innovative web-based technology.
Tameside Council is innovative and ambitious - independent inspectors recognise that. Audit Commission inspectors said Tameside is "improving faster than any other council in the country". We're a learning organisation. Partnership is our watchword. Tameside has a culture of innovation and performance and with the political stability of the council, councillors and staff have been able to develop the council's potential together. We are rightly proud of our achievements to date. But we're hungry for more success.
The Council is currently consulting on its Pay and Grading proposals. Implementation will occur on 1st July 2009. This could mean the grade for this job and other associated conditions may change.
Tameside Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Join us - and be ambitious too!
