Horsham District Council

Horsham District Council are a local authority providing a range of public services for residents and businesses. With around 450 staff, we have a variety of jobs and career opportunities, from apprenticeships to management level.

As well as the corporate services such as Finance, HR and Legal, we also have a variety of specialist departments supporting the local and wider district. These include Planning and Building Control; Waste & Recycling services; Parking; Housing and homeless prevention; Parks and Countryside; Environmental Health and Licencing and the provision of a range of services in the community.

We have a friendly and supportive working environment, and being a smaller council you can really get to know everybody. We encourage and support our employees to have a healthy work life balance by supporting their professional development, offering 27 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays) and flexible working options. We also offer a generous benefits package including eligibility for the Local Government contributory pension scheme, where the Council contributes 20% of pensionable salary.

All of this makes Horsham District Council a great place to work and we are always on the lookout for new people to join us.
