Further Information

Peterborough is one of the UK’s fastest growing and successful city. Steeped in history, it is a magnet for engineering talent and trades well upon its connection to strategic infrastructure with easy access to London, the Midlands, and the North.

Its population today is young and multiculturally diverse, with more than 150 languages spoken. The city has responded imaginatively and sustainably to the changing dynamics this has brought about. Peterborough was selected by Government as one of the first five national Integration Areas due to the understanding we have of our communities.

• A service which promotes development, training and opportunities.
This really is an exciting time to be joining us and there are a number of opportunities available, at varying levels to enable us to complete our team. If you are ambitious, driven and motivated to make a difference, by supporting the services delivered to Peterborough residents please apply.
