This offer aligns with the six One Coventry values [https://www.coventry.gov.uk/homepage/1781/our-values] and reflects the Council as a learning organisation.

The Council's HR People Plan [https://www.coventry.gov.uk/strategies-plans-policies/people-plan-2023-2025] has a number of key aims to support the aspirations of the workforce and establish a supportive culture of continuous development.  Strengthening the skills and knowledge of our workforce will better enable us to address some of the challenges we face as an organisation and be in a better position to deliver our 'One Coventry' ambitions.
