About Herefordshire Council

Welcome! We're tucked on the edge of the West Midlands, nestled between Worcestershire and The Brecon Beacons. We’re proud and excited to unveil our new recruitment video, a celebration of Herefordshire’s people, places and purpose. Set in the heart of England and filled with pride, compassion and possibility, the video brings to life what it means to work somewhere you truly belong. At Herefordshire Council, every role matters and every person makes a real difference for our communities. We’re a team where people feel valued, supported and empowered to grow together. Discover how we’re delivering the best for Herefordshire, and how you could be part of it. The Children & Young People directorate is responsible for education services, safeguarding and family support and is at the heart everything we do. The Community Wellbeing directorate brings together a wide range of services supporting communities including many of the most vulnerable individuals in the county, with a speech bubble to represent the importance of voice for all in our community. The Corporate Centre provides support services across the council for finance, human resources, legal, communications and strategic transformation and delivery, with a circle to demonstrate the central support our corporate services provide. The Economy and Environment directorate brings together a wide range of services that together make a significant contribution to all of the strategic priorities identified in the Council Plan 2024 - 2028, with a leaf to represent our pride of the environment in Herefordshire as well as the growth of our economy. Herefordshire has the best of all worlds. It’s a place where the whole family can grow and thrive. Children have access to excellent education, there are well-paid jobs for adults, and the family life connects to the local community and to nature. Our THRIVE values strive to promote a thriving workforce by fostering a culture of trust, teamwork and collaboration, being honest and responsible, inclusive, valuing people and resources and leading with empathy. They provide a framework for us all to align our actions with the council’s vision and priorities creating a positive and supportive work environment where individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.
