Southwark Council

The London Borough of Southwark extends from the River Thames to Dulwich in South London. It is a large, ambitious and progressive council, encompassing some of the capital’s cultural hotspots, vibrant communities and acclaimed green spaces.

We are continually looking to support the growth of talent and to develop our workforce. So our employees are given the support, knowledge and opportunities they need to develop and deliver results that really improve the quality of life for our citizens.

As a Council, we are successful, passionate and forward-thinking. We are committed to our ‘Fairer Futures for All’ mission, which ensures that our varied mix of cultural communities and businesses, where over 120 languages are spoken, are at the centre of everything we do.

Finance sits at the heart of Southwark, one of the most densely populated and diverse boroughs in the country, and plays a pivotal role in the direction and progress of the organisation. Our finance graduates work to develop one of the most ambitious housing projects in the country, tackle climate change through pension investments, and manage core service budgets.
