Working at Derby City Council

Derby is a safe, compact city with a defined centre and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods. It has an internationally recognised industrial heritage and is one of the world's leading aerospace cities, with a strong identity and yet surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The city itself includes over 800 hectares of local parks and the river Derwent flows right through the centre.
