TEAM Reading

Within the Council, we are driven by the principles of TEAM Reading.

 

These principles underpin the way we work day-to-day, and the major initiatives that are the foundation for modern, cost-effective services that will improve the lives of local people set out in our themes.

 

You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place. Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success.
