We are forward-thinking, innovative and just happen to be based in the ‘Best Place to Live’ in the UK!

As a local authority, we’ve long been known for punching above our weight and that’s down to the hard work of our talented officers and dedicated members.

We work to the mantra of ‘One council, one team, creating excellence.’

And there’s never been a better time to join!

We’re a key partner in the £430m Preston, South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal which is bringing forward 30 years of growth in a decade – creating 20,000 jobs, 17,000 new homes and delivering multi-million pound infrastructure improvements for our communities.

As an authority, we want to be the best in the country and our vision is to be a council that is recognised for being innovative, forward thinking and financially self-sufficient, while putting people at the heart of everything we do.

Based in the heart of Lancashire, commuting to our two Leyland sites is helped by direct access to three major motorway networks and great public transport links. Plus our staff car parks are free to use!

In fact, there’s a wide range of benefits to working for South Ribble, including a chance to join the Local Government Pension Scheme, flexible working, 22 days annual leave (which increases to 29 days for six years’ service) plus bank holidays and Christmas closure, support to enhance your skills and qualifications and reduced rates at our leisure centres. Click Here to discover the vast range of benefits on offer to our staff.

And of course, if you don’t fancy a long daily commute, South Ribble holds the gong for 'Best Place to Live in the UK' based on job opportunities, housing, leisure, culture and happiness – so it’s a perfect place to relocate to!
