Thank you for your interest in Waverley Borough Council. This is an exciting time for the council during a period of change as we continue to develop, sustain and improve local services, while taking action to address the climate emergency and manage public finances to provide the best value for money.

Waverley is primarily a rural borough with a population of approximately 123,000. It has plenty of character with lively thriving market towns and a diverse business community, as well as some of the most beautiful green spaces in the Southeast.

Waverley Borough Council’s main office is situated just off the High Street in Godalming at the Burys, near to the train station and with good links to the A3 and other main routes. We also have other sites around the borough, such as Farnham Memorial Hall. We currently employ around 430 staff who provide a range of services including housing, planning, refuse collection, recycling, environmental services, council tax collection, leisure facilities, playgrounds and parks as well as support for vulnerable people.

Working with us means that we invest in you and your career in a fair and flexible working environment.  We are very supportive of flexible and agile working, we provide flexitime, we have generous leave entitlements, including an additional three days off when the office is closed between Christmas and New Year. We also have a range of learning and development services to support your career goals together with a very successful apprenticeship programme taking full advantage of the apprenticeship level to upskill people who work for us. We are a disability confident employer and signatories to the Armed Forces Covenant and we welcome applications from those who may traditionally be disadvantaged in the workplace
