Making a difference

We do what we do for the people of Coventry. It's all about making sure that they have access to great services to give them the best possible quality of life. No matter what your job is, you'll have the opportunity to have a direct impact on the lives of Coventry's residents and the city itself.

Our staff are at the heart of being able to deliver the One Coventry Plan: we need to transform the way we do things and work in new and different ways to achieve this. We don't just want people to fit into a Coventry job - we need people who share our One Coventry Values. We recruit for attitude and develop for skills.

To deliver the best services to our residents, we need the best people working for us to make a difference to our communities. Coventry is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults, children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
