As a low cost, high performing local authority, Cheshire East Council is responsible for providing more than 500 local public services to over 378,000 residents.
We employ around 3,500 staff and they are our most important asset. Getting our organisational culture right has been a real focus for us over the last two years.

We now have a clear vision for the workplace, a set of values and behaviours and an employee deal that have been agreed by staff and members across the organisation.
Our organisation is financially independent and we have a particular focus on enabling residents and communities to become more self-sufficient.
“Working for a brighter future together” is our promise and speaks about our ambitions and our hopes, and those we share with our communities and partners. Our priorities are shaped by a clear vision for our organisation and Cheshire East the place and set out in our Corporate Plan and our strategies for people and place services.
Our journey continues to ensure that Cheshire East Council is a great place to work, where staff are well led, feel valued, have a shared purpose and succeed together.
