About Croydon
As one of London’s largest and most diverse
boroughs, Croydon is a fantastic place to live, work and spend time,
with all the benefits of close proximity to the rest of London and the
southeast.
Over the past decade we have seen
huge investment, regeneration, and growth in our Borough. Croydon
remains an attractive and important part of London for ongoing growth
and investment – growth from which we want to see all our communities’
benefit.
However, we must keep up to date and
continually adapt and change to focus on the needs our residents are
facing today, while making sure we are a financially sustainable
council by 2024. This brings opportunities for those who want to work
in a fast-moving environment, focused on improvement and delivering
better services. Croydon is an exciting place to work.
We have a great planning management team, who lead, inspire,
and believe in Croydon. If you want a challenge with great job
satisfaction, there is no better opportunity than Croydon.
