Havering Council is a dynamic and innovative organisation

We employ over 8,000 people, including those in schools, across a number of locations within the borough.

If you are looking for the opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives and establish a stimulating and rewarding career in an ever-changing and developing organisation, we want to hear from you.

Equal opportunities employer

We want everyone to choose Havering.

When you apply for a job with us, your application is considered on its merits regardless of your age, disability, ethnicity, faith, gender identity or sexual orientation. Our residents and service users come from all walks of life, and so do our employees.

We have achieved Corporate Investors in People and been awarded the Two Ticks: positive about people with disabilities status.

Havering council is committed to practicing fairness and equity in its recruitment process.

One way in which the council supports this practice is by using ‘name-anonymised’ recruitment which means that our recruiting managers only have access to the information you have submitted in support of your application until they make a decision to call you for interview/selection.

When submitting a CV and supporting statement, please ensure that you remove or redact any personal information before submitting the documents.

The London Borough of Havering has important responsibilities for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

If you are appointed to a job that involves working with these groups, you may be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
