Get Involved

We are looking for people who are out of the ordinary. People from all backgrounds, with a wealth of experience and the ability to think big.

Croydon has ambitious plans across all of our services, and one of the key attributes we are looking is leadership: the ability to see the big picture, work across boundaries, work effectively with partners and inspire our staff and our community.

Your potential is just as important as your experience. Whilst we naturally look for people with a strong record of delivery within their respective areas, we are also looking for individuals who want to excel and innovate — after all, Croydon is recognised as the most innovative borough in the country.

We have set out a new competency framework and appraisal system that all employees, from the chief executive down, are assessed against — with all employees following a personal development plan.

That means that, as a leader, you must be able to see the importance of developing your department, particularly the people. We are fostering a culture where our values — chosen by our staff — are at the heart of everything we do.
