Working for Cheltenham Borough Council

Cheltenham is a vibrant and elegant Regency town located on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds. It's renowned for its festivals of literature, music, science and jazz. And of course, it's home to the most prestigious jump racing event of the year, the Cheltenham Festival, culminating in the Gold Cup.  

As the most complete Regency town in the UK, Cheltenham is brimming with history as well as award-winning parks and gardens and offers excellent shopping and dining experiences. It's a great place to live and work. It was voted the Best Place to Live in the South West 2020 by the Sunday Times with its education, culture and connectivity highlighted amongst its best attributes.
