Working in Cheshire
Whatever your reason for working in Cheshire, whether you are looking for your first job or apprenticeship opportunities, a new role or maybe you are thinking of relocating here, we believe that Cheshire is a good place to start. If you are thinking of starting or expanding your business in Cheshire we can help with business advice too.
Cheshire is a diverse county with an enviable quality of life and is one of country’s most affluent places to live. It combines a rich agricultural heritage with a vibrant business base, excellent schools and spectacular leisure opportunities. The county is situated in the North West of England approximately 197m / 317 km from London and 45 minutes drive from the larger cities of Liverpool and Manchester with their airports. Situated as it is, means the region has easy access to the rest of the UK via the M6, M53 and M56 motorways and trains run frequently, to London Euston and other parts of the country. For further information visit our About Cheshire pages or read our latest Quality of Life Survey.
Why Cheshire?
Cheshire's unemployment is consistently below that of the North West and the rest of Great Britain and in recent years, employees in Cheshire have had hourly earnings rates higher than the English average. The Council employs 25,221 staff, (16,775 full time equivalents), including teachers, local government officers, youth workers, nurses and civil engineers. (September 2006).
The Council is now transforming the way it works becoming ever more relevant and responsive to the needs of its people.
