“This is Manchester, we do things differently here.”

At Manchester City Council, we’re proud to do local government differently: as you’d expect from a city with our international reputation for diversity, creativity, culture and passion.

A career with us means you can be yourself and thrive.

Whatever your role, you’ll be supporting our residents and communities to be the best they can be, and we’ll support you – to build the career your talent and ambition deserves.

The work you do changes lives. Whatever your role, you’re part of making Manchester lives healthier and happier.

We want a fair, inclusive workplace – as diverse as the communities that make our city. Every one of us must feel confident and comfortable bringing their true self to work, talking openly, and making the most of their talents to grow and to succeed.

We’ll always do our best to look out for you. We want a safe, happy, healthy, successful workforce, and our policies, practices and culture are geared to give equal access to quality work that’s fairly paid, secure and flexible.

It takes a certain type of behaviour, attitude and way of working to get Manchester where it wants to be. Our people and partners have agreed five ‘behaviours’ – the grounding for how we must work together and treat one another:

• We take time to listen and understand
• We work together and trust each other
• We show that we value our differences and treat each other fairly
• We ‘own it’ and we’re not afraid to try new things
• We’re proud and passionate about Manchester.
