Test Valley is the English countryside at its most perfect, with picturesque villages and beautiful landscape set in the west of Hampshire; the borough has borders with Berkshire to the north, Wiltshire to the west, and the New Forest and Southampton to the south.  Set in this rural landscape are the towns of Andover, Romsey and Stockbridge, each with their own distinctive, individual character.

If you are successful in getting a job with the Council, you will find an organisation that fully understands the benefits that come from investing in our employees.  Although the financial climate is challenging, the Council continues to make a commitment to engaging with our employees to keep them well informed about what is happening in all areas of the Council's business.  We also believe in providing learning and development opportunities to help everyone do their job better, and to develop potential.  It is a great environment to work in.

Our recruitment process is managed via the HIOWLGA (Hampshire and Isle of Wight Local Government Authorities) Recruitment Portal, and the recruitment service is provided as part of a shared services partnership with Hampshire County Council.

As an employer committed to equality of opportunity, the Council opposes all forms of discrimination or unfair treatment in its recruitment processes.  No employee or job applicant will be disadvantaged because of their gender, marital status, race, colour, religious belief, nationality, national origin, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability or age, or by any condition or requirement which cannot be shown to be justifiable.

Any person with a disability applying for a post and satisfying the minimum criteria will be offered an interview under the Employment Service Disability Symbol commitment.  However, the final decision to appoint will be made on merit.  The Council will take all practical steps to facilitate both initial and continued employment of people with disabilities.
