The Council values diversity in its workforce and is committed to preventing unlawful discrimination in recruitment and selection on grounds of age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, transgender identity (including non-binary identities), religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity. We offer networks for employees including the Allies Network, a Disability and Carers Network and Perthyn LGBTQ+ Network.

An application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an English application. As part of the Council’s Welsh language objectives, there is a guaranteed interview scheme for Welsh-speakers of Level 3 and above if you meet the essential criteria in the person specification.

In view of the large number of applications, individual acknowledgements are not provided. If you do not hear within four weeks of the closing date, please assume your application was unsuccessful.
