About Derbyshire County Council
What is it like to work for Derbyshire County Council
Wellbeing
Opportunities are provided for flexible working, including the flexible working hours scheme, home working, term-time working and compressed working weeks. The flexible working hours scheme has been revised since April 2010 to remove core hours, allow working between 7am and 7pm and allow up to 2 days flexi leave per 4 week period. As part of its accommodation project to rationalise the number of administrative buildings, the Council is introducing new ways of working where roles are being categorised as fixed office, flexible, mobile, field, fixed home or no work station required to allow much more flexible working.
Giving Something Back
The Council have a corporate office recycling scheme to collect and recycle paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, plastics bottles, cans. They also use old road planings to re-lay in highway subsurface under roads to be resurfaced or use in other applications such as pathway surfaces. They are also developing a waste matrix to identify all waste produced by the county council, the amounts, whether or not it is recycled and eventually how much greenhouse gas it produces if not recycled. They also recycle their used computer consumables as well as corporate mobile phones and computing equipment where possible.
My Company
The Council have proposals to introduce informal recognition advice and guidance to managers and formal recognition via annual awards. 25 and 40 years service are recognised with a gift, certificate, awards ceremony/dinner. 25 years receive £100 vouchers, 40 years receive £250 vouchers. As part of their plans for informal recognition, thank you cards are proposed.
