Elmbridge Borough Council | Residents at the Centre of What We Do
Overview
Elmbridge Borough Council is based in Esher, Surrey and serves communities including Weybridge and Walton-on-Thames. We may not be the best-known council, but we are a strong option if you want meaningful work, supportive teams, and real career growth. The borough has good road and rail links, with easy access to London and the wider South East.
Elmbridge is one of the larger boroughs in Surrey. We serve around 135,000 residents and work in an area with high land values and complex local needs. This creates a busy, varied environment where your work can have a clear impact. Above all, we aim to put residents at the centre of what we do.
We manage an annual gross budget of around £70m and employ over 300 staff. We also work closely with volunteers, local groups, and partner organisations. We focus on delivering high-quality services while using public money carefully and responsibly. We listen to feedback and look for better ways to improve services.
We believe the best results come from collaborative working. We want people who are willing to share ideas, challenge the way things are done, and help us work smarter. In return, we offer an environment where you can be heard, supported, and trusted to do your job well.
Learning and development matters to us. We can create a tailored development plan to support your career, including training and professional qualifications where relevant. We want you to thrive at Elmbridge, because when our staff feel valued and supported, our residents benefit too.
We also understand that work-life balance matters. Many roles offer flexibility, so you can do challenging work without sacrificing wellbeing and time outside work.
