Why Work at Redbridge?
This is an exciting time to join us at Redbridge as we have a new Chief Executive Clare Symonds a dynamic leader who is also a resident. She is very committed to creating an inclusive environment where staff can flourish and provide our residents with innovative services that meet their needs. Our Corporate strategy outlines our ambitions for Redbridge.
We are among the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing compared to other parts of London, high quality open spaces and rapid transport connections into the heart of the City. Our population is getting both younger and older - driving increased demand in both adults and children's services. A growing population has placed huge pressure on a housing stock built for a different era. The pace of change to meet these challenges is phenomenal.
We know that our values; Collaboration, Honesty, Excellence, Fairness are critical to the embedding of our cultural change programme to build our ‘One Brilliant Team’ and HR are working with the business to embed this into our practices to recruit, reward and promote our values throughout everything we do. Having an engaged, motivated workforce is the only way to achieve our objectives and we strive to offer fair terms and conditions to our staff to ensure they feel valued and supported.
