Cambridgeshire is a great place to work and live with a diverse population, an urban centre in Cambridge, historic Isle of Ely, Huntingdon and St Ives as well as more rural landscapes.
Large areas of the county are extremely low-lying, notably Holme Fen which is the UKs lowest physical point contrasting with the Gog Magog Hills and Castle Camps. Wicken Fen is a biological site of special scientific interest managed by the National Trust.
Our vision is creating a greener, fairer and more caring Cambridgeshire by delivering on our seven ambitions (opens as a .pdf)
As an employee you will focus on making our vision a reality. Your work will make a real difference to the lives of people in Cambridgeshire.
