ABOUT US
“Work for Oxfordshire – we seriously recommend it.”
From rescues to registrations to education, Oxfordshire County Council is a dynamic employer that offers Oxfordshire county residents a wide range of services that they rely on everyday.
Over three quarters of our staff that deliver these services feel their managers listen to, and value, their opinions – something many commercial and public sector employers aspire to.
Different makes the difference.
All members of our diverse workforce contribute to our vision of making Oxfordshire a place of thriving communities. They:
- perform marriages
- save lives
- provide social care and support
- educate our children
- improve our highways
These services, and many more, are all part of our goal to create a county where people live safe, healthy, happy lives, and are active in their local community.

Why we chose 'Thriving Communities'
OUR VALUES
To reach our vision we are committed to four key values.
1. Work together in a supportive and honest way
We work together to achieve the best for clients and colleagues; support and encourage those around us to succeed; take pride in our role; and build great relationships with everyone we work with.
2. Strive to find the best solutions
To deliver services cost effectively we strive for high standards, plan and organise our resources efficiently, and make sound, considered decisions to achieve the best solutions for all involved.
3. Be open to change
We always ask ourselves:
- Why did I do it this way?
- How can I do this better?
- What else can I do?
- How can I achieve this?
This helps us improve and deliver effective services.
