An exciting time to join Cotswold District Council - public service but not as you know it!
Proud, passionate, ambitious - it couldn’t be a more exciting time to work for Cotswold District Council. We’re searching for the very best people to join us.
The Cotswold District is a great place and we are rightly proud of our businesses, communities and residents. We’re busy recreating a council that’s pro-active and responsive to the needs of our residents and businesses in a fast-changing environment. That means we need to be ‘fleet of foot’ and look for innovative and creative ways to deliver against our Corporate Plan priorities.
The Council has an ambitious Council Plan focussed on a range of important priorities including climate action, strong local communities, and a vibrant district economy.

You’ll help shape a safer, more sustainable built environment across one of the UK’s most distinctive districts, from Cotswold stone cottages and listed buildings to energy efficient new builds and innovative developments. Your input will have a lasting impact on local people and places.
Our approach is agile and modern. We’re constantly improving how we deliver services and use technology, and you’ll have the freedom to influence how we evolve. Your ideas and insight will help shape the future of Building Control at the council.
