What you'll be doing

Step into a role where your impact truly matters. As a Business Partner, you won't just support the way our Council works - you'll help redefine it. This is your chance to shape a dynamic, people focused culture that delivers real results for our teams and the wider community.

You'll be at the heart of turning bold workforce strategies into meaningful action - embedding practical, forward thinking people practices that make a visible difference every day.
