Dorset Council formed as a unitary authority in 2019 and although we have achieved so much already, it’s exciting to consider what’s possible in the future and how we can meet our potential. We are forward thinking, ambitious and embrace this time of positive change.

We celebrate the wide variety of perspectives, skills and experience that are shared across the council. Our people are passionate and dedicated - our colleagues energise, challenge and inspire us every day.

With the stunning countryside and the world-renowned Jurassic Coast, Dorset is a uniquely beautiful part of the country and a great place to work.

We care about Dorset and the people who live here, we’re passionate about leaving a legacy for the next generations. Everything we do, we do to improve the lives of the residents of Dorset, not to mention the millions of people who visit our county every year.

All roles make a meaningful difference to make lives better for the residents in Dorset.Show less
