Working for Oxfordshire County Council

What our colleagues say

We don’t want to show off, but working for Oxfordshire County Council really is special.

However, don't take our word for it. Let our colleagues tell you about the benefits and opportunities we offer, such as agile working, career development and our commitment to health and wellbeing.

Vanessa

What adult social care administrator Vanessa finds most rewarding is the encouragement and support we receive to try something new.

The best thing for me is seeing positive change and increased confidence to try things differently. Our opinions are contributing to shaping the bigger picture.

There's so much publicity around what we’re doing for the environment, it makes me think about my own impact at work, that we can all put changes in place.

James

James, engagement officer in Children's Services, believes in our ongoing commitment to tackle climate change across the county.

Donna

Head of Public Health Programmes

Throughout my time at Oxfordshire County Council, I've seen the positive impact of my work on local residents and employees, particularly through leading the commission of our innovative Public Health Nursing Services for babies, children, and young people.

Starting as a Practitioner, I've grown into a senior leader, supported by the Council to study for a Postgraduate Diploma and a Level 7 apprenticeship in Leadership at the University of Birmingham.

The team culture here is inclusive and supportive, facilitating team building, celebrating accomplishments, and providing opportunities for continued learning.
