Chorley Borough Council - A great place to live, a great place to work

Chorley is a thriving market town situated just north of Manchester, and has excellent road and rail links to the rest of the country.  

The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside, is only half an hour away from the coast and within easy reach of the Lake District. 

As a Council, Chorley is a fast moving organisation, which has been recognised nationally through the award of Beacon Status for "transforming Services, Citizen Engagement and Empowerment", which compliments our progressive and comprehensive approach for providing quality services to our customer. 

We are also recognised nationally for providing value for money and use of resources, and are striving to become an "excellent" organisation by summer 2008.

As an employer, Chorley Council achieved a top ten place in the "Times Best Councils to work for" awards in 2007, and we offer an attractive and innovative package of benefits for our employees.

As well as job opportunities, Chorley Council encourages students to apply for work experience with us, to both support their academic studies and further their future careers.
