At the City of Edinburgh Council, we’re proud to work together for the people of Edinburgh, making a positive difference to the city and the lives of our residents every single day. We’re committed to creating a workplace where our people are supported and recognised for their contribution to that purpose. Our new Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility, will create the foundation to help us create a great place to work that:

•is open, positive, inclusive and safe

• supports and allows everyone to be their best self and do their best work

• celebrates the benefits of our diversity

• ensures everyone feel trusted, valued, heard and recognised.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
