The Vision

“to work together openly and with the many communities within the Island to support and sustain our economy, environment and people”

If you were to ask anyone why they relocated to the Isle of Wight, they would all have a different reason. What drew them here? What made them stay? Everyone’s circumstances are different but one fundamental factor will entwine every story; the Isle of Wight is a beautiful, calm, interesting and inspiring place to be.

While they love the tranquil surroundings, they are an innovative, forward thinking and dynamic council. They trust in their staff to make a difference on the Isle of Wight and they want people to join them who share those values.

The council has in place an ambitious new corporate plan with a vision of the Alliance Administration to work together openly and with the many communities within the Island to support and sustain our economy, environment and people.

The corporate plan sets out the Alliance Administration’s aspirations and strategic priorities for the council, which are underpinned by a number of aligned and more detailed strategies and plans that translate the vision, desired outcomes and priorities into robust, outcome focussed delivery plans. Delivery of the priorities will require real collaboration between services across the council.

The plan also identifies key overarching aims, namely:

• The provision of affordable housing for Island residents,
• Responding to climate change and enhancing our status as a UNESCO Biosphere,
• Economic recovery, in particular restoring and building upon the positive signs of sustainable growth prior to the pandemic

The Council are making great strides and their outlook is very much onward and upward. The opportunities ahead of them are vast and you could be a part of one of their fantastic teams to continue to make their home a great place to grow up, live, work and visit. Working for the council means being a real part of the community, delivering services that people want and need and being at the heart of the Island’s future.
