• A role aligned with Torbay Council’s core values: Forward thinking, people orientated, adaptable, and always acting with integrity.

Applicants must be able to travel efficiently within the Bay/South West/UK when required and may need to complete a Criminal Records Self Declaration. Torbay Council operates a smoke free policy and is committed to equal opportunities and safeguarding.
