About Us

Norfolk County Council are the main local authority for Norfolk providing services countywide to more than 900,000 Norfolk residents. They take the lead in critical policy areas, working with 84 elected Members responsible for the strategic local government services in the county. They provide high quality service through involving people who use their services to shape and comment on them and by promoting efficiency and innovation. The Council work in partnership with local businesses, voluntary organisations and other local authorities such as District and Parish Councils in order to provide the people of Norfolk with excellent services.

Norfolk County Council is changing. They're a forward-thinking council that wants the county and its communities to make the best of their potential.

They're recruiting leaders who can drive their transformation and ensure their council is more productive, more efficient and able to manage demand, through more early help and prevention.

Like all county councils, they face declining Government grant, growing demand and a rising population. They must become financially self-sufficient. But they are not interested in managing decline, or in limiting their ambitions.

They’re re-designing services, so that they meet the needs of their growing population, provide high standards of customer care, reflect the priorities of residents and provide good value for money.

Their priorities are to ensure they have a well-educated and skilled population, support vulnerable people and to enable the creation of real jobs and improved infrastructure.

With their strong knowledge economy, cutting edge manufacturing and vibrant culture, Norfolk is a great place to live and work.
