About us

Coventry City Council is a very special place. As a council with improvement at its heart, we’re committed to making life better for the people who live and work in Coventry. By joining us, you won’t just be helping the community, you’ll be helping yourself too.  

Diversity and inclusion is at the heart of our organisation, so we are keen to recruit graduates from all different backgrounds to reflect the diverse communities that we serve. We are looking for graduates who have different perspectives, the right values and attitudes, and who are keen to kick-start their career in local government.

Our values define us as an organisation and influence everything we do and how we treat each other.
