“Hello I’m Mark Hammond, Chief Executive of West Sussex County Council.  Welcome to our jobs and careers website.  The council is the biggest employer in the county and if you’re considering a career with us I’m sure these special web pages will prove useful.  I also hope they’ll show how much the county council values it staff after all people are our greatest asset and if we’re going to succeed in providing better services for our residents everyone in the organisation has to perform well.

In order to provide quality services and achieve our aim of continuous improvement we understand the importance of keeping staff happy, healthy and performing to their best.  We look after our staff by offering a package that includes much more than just set hours.  For example, we understand the need many people have to strike a balance between their home lives and work- so flexible working is an option in many parts of our organisation.

We also provide staff with a wide range of opportunities to develop their skills because we know that this can only help them to improve life for our residents.  West Sussex is a great place to live and work and I hope these website pages will help show you why.”  

Mark Hammond, Chief Executive
