We have an excellent and continuously improving education service. Our housing service is well equipped to meet the challenges of new legislation as identified in the recent positive inspection report. It’s no surprise that in a 2007 Readers Digest Poll, East Dunbartonshire was voted the best place in the UK to raise a family, based on factors such as education, environment and low levels of crime. Year on year improvements have been achieved through the efforts of our forward thinking Council. With progressive Partnership at Work arrangements in place involving Officers, Elected Members and Trades Unions; we continue to develop services through innovation, commitment and community engagement. In addition, the successful Community Planning Partnership which the Council leads delivers positive outcomes for the community through the five key themes of Community Health, Community Safety, Learning and Enterprise, Delivering for Children and Young People and Environment. What’s more, the Council is committed to supporting the development of employees and to becoming the employer of choice. Here, you’ll find a working environment that is not only supportive and respectful, but one where ideas and personal contribution are positively encouraged.
