Sustainable Future City Council
We’re building a financially sustainable future by making the most of our land, buildings, and resources - bringing services back in-house where it makes sense to do so. We’re also investing in our people, ensuring our teams have the skills, support, and technology they need to deliver excellent services. With a strong focus on digital innovation, data, and analytics, we’re modernising how we work to meet the needs of our communities.

The Economy & Inclusive Growth
We’re helping residents thrive by creating more and better-paid jobs, expanding opportunities for skills development, and driving major growth across our communities. From planning new homes to revitalising our city centre, we’re shaping the future with purpose. And at the heart of everything we do is our commitment to achieving net zero - making sustainability a core part of our progress.

Children and Young People
We're committed to providing the best support possible for vulnerable children and young people, including those in our care, which includes keeping them safe from harm and providing school places for everyone who needs one including those with special education needs (SEND). We ensure every child in our care receives the same high-quality support and opportunities that we would all strive to achieve for our own children and we reduce reoffending by supporting children to make positive changes.

Prevention, Independence and Resilience
We're making a real difference to the residents of Peterborough - supporting them to live healthier, more independent lives. From debt management and the housing crisis, to helping young people transition into adulthood, and caring for the elderly and vulnerable, we’re there every step of the way. We also address issues like loneliness and promote good health across our communities. And we’re modernising how we work - using technology to deliver smarter, more effective services.

Our Values
We are committed to putting people first. Everyone matters.
We are a values-led organisation. There are six values that we strive to achieve across all our work - with colleagues, partners and our communities:
Diversity & Inclusion
Be part of a team that values diversity, fosters inclusion, and is committed to making a positive impact.
At Peterborough City Council, we believe that diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our success. We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our dedication to diversity and inclusion is reflected in our ongoing initiatives and partnerships.
We understand the unique challenges faced by care leavers and are dedicated to providing opportunities and support to help them thrive. Our programs offer mentorship, career guidance, and tailored development plans to ensure care leavers have the resources they need to succeed in their careers.
We are proud to support members of the armed forces, veterans, and their families. Our initiatives include recruitment drives, training programs, and flexible working arrangements to accommodate the unique needs of those who have served. We recognise the valuable skills and experiences that veterans bring to our team and are committed to helping them transition smoothly into civilian careers.
As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities. We actively promote accessibility and provide reasonable adjustments to ensure that everyone can perform at their best. Our goal is to break down barriers and create a workplace where all abilities are celebrated.
Our Diversity and Inclusion roadmap outlines our strategic goals and the steps we are taking to achieve them. This includes ongoing training and education for our employees, partnerships with diverse organisations, and regular assessments of our progress. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and transparency in our efforts to build a more inclusive workplace.
