What we do

There has never been a better time to join us here at Surrey. We have made great strides in our transformation over the past couple of years and have bold plans to go further so that we can deliver the best possible outcomes for our residents. We are ambitious about the impact we can have in mitigating climate change, delivering good Green growth and more sustainable transport. We continue to invest in major infrastructure programmes and are leading the way in our efforts to support the economy as we come through COVID.

We are passionate about making a difference to children and young people, keeping them safe, enabling them to thrive and reach their full potential. Our Agile ambitions, which stood us in good stead throughout the past few months, have opened up a window of new opportunities, utilising a variety of digital and virtual platforms to enable interaction and collaboration whilst working remotely.

Our work in the equality, inclusion and diversity arena is also going from strength to strength, with an LGBTQI+ network and Disability network recently added to our existing Women’s, Youth, BAME and Wellbeing networks. Our mantra is that ‘no-one should be left behind’, as the council strives to tackle inequalities across the county and communities - this applies equally to those working for us, so we welcome staff who share our values and are as passionate as we are about delivering quality services across the board.

Our values show what we care about as an organisation and will be crucial in delivering our Community Vision for Surrey in 2030.
