As a new starter at the council, it’s important that you get an understanding of how the council works, how your role contributes to the overall council plan, how decisions are made, what is expected of you and what you can expect from us.
Please book on to Welcome to South Gloucestershire - Council Induction. This face-to-face induction offers a welcoming and interactive experience and includes a welcome from Dave Perry, our Chief Executive or one of his Executive Directors, an overview of the council and its services with a guided tour (accessible version available), and the opportunity to meet other colleagues.
Social Care staff must also book the Social Care Learning and Development Welcome session, where you will find out more about the learning and development and career progression offer available to you if you work in social care.
