Making a difference
We all use council services every day. If you work for PվɫÇéƬ, what you do will make a difference – you will be supporting the day-to-day lives, and longer term future, of our communities.
We provide a huge, diverse range of services that offer a career path for many different professions, skills and roles. And in PվɫÇéƬ and Bute, we deliver services that many other councils do not, such as air and ferry services.
Classroom assistant, accountant, lawyer, planner, social worker, teacher, surveyor, administrator, driver, environmental health officer – these are just some of the many roles we employ to support the people, businesses and communities of PվɫÇéƬ and Bute.
And working with us will mean you can take pride in being part of an award-winning council team – our employees are regularly recognised nationally for their innovation and success.
Building a rewarding career with us
We value our employees. So whether you are starting out in your career or looking for promotion, we provide excellent terms and conditions, as well as learning opportunities to help you move into new roles with us if you wish.
One of our Executive Directors for example joined us as a Clerical Assistant within the Finance Department and now has one the most senior roles in the council. We create new roles as required to meet changing business needs, for example we employ two Climate Change Officers to progress our ambitions for climate-friendly PվɫÇéƬ and Bute.

Fair Work First Statement
Fair Work First is the Scottish Government's flagship policy for driving high quality and fair work across the labour market in Scotland by applying fair work criteria to grants, other funding and contracts being awarded by and across the public sector, where it is relevant to do so.
Through this approach, the Scottish Government is asking employers to adopt fair working practices. PվɫÇéƬ is committed to advancing the Fair Work criteria, and to providing a positive employee experience.
