Wigan Council

Wigan Council is at an exciting point in our transformational journey to realise our Progress with Unity vision for the future, our new movement for change for the next decade. We have renewed our focus on working in partnership with communities to achieve the best outcomes for residents, and create a borough where everyone feels valued, welcome and given enough opportunities to really thrive. Working for us means joining an award-winning organisation that truly values its people and its community. Guided by the BeWigan behaviours - Be Positive, Be Accountable, Be Courageous, and Be Kind - the council fosters an inclusive, supportive culture where you can make a real difference to local lives. Employees benefit from excellent career development opportunities, flexible working, generous leave, and a strong pension scheme, alongside wellbeing initiatives and staff discounts. With a reputation for innovation and recognition as Council of the Year at the APSE awards, Wigan Council offers not just a job, but a chance to grow, contribute, and be part of a meaningful movement for change in the public sector. We have achieved a Level 3 Carer Confident accreditation displaying our commitment to being an organisation that values the contribution of working carers. Alongside this, we’re a Disability Confident Employer, meaning we actively strive to fairly recruit, retain and support employees with disabilities to work with us. Working for us means working for an organisation that values their workforce and strives to set an example of how an inclusive, progressive organisation should be.
