Here's what our staff say

 

Aaron Simmons - Technical Officer

“I’ve worked here for almost 10 years and in that time, I’ve successfully completed multiple qualifications and had a great mentor too. After a career change, I am now completing an apprenticeship in Building Surveying. The Council’s commitment to training and personal development plans makes it a great place to work.”
 

 

Sarah Martin - Senior Benefits and Project Officer

“My career at the Council began in May 2013 as a Business Administration Apprentice. Since then and thanks to the Council’s commitment to professional development, I transitioned into the Housing Benefits Team and swiftly advanced to Benefits Assessment Officer within a year. With the Council’s support, I achieved my Level 3 IRRV qualification and IRRV Diploma, further enhancing my professional growth.

I’ve had lots of opportunities and enjoyed the variety of challenges. Now a Senior Benefits and Project Officer, I lead a team managing revenues and benefits administration. If you are ambitious and excited by new challenges, Tandridge District Council provides the support and opportunity for you to thrive.”

 

Barry Gilham - Democratic and Electoral Services Officer

“At Tandridge District Council, working flexibly and in a hybrid way is an essential part of my working week. It’s not just about work/life balance, it’s also about being more productive and the ease of working with my colleagues.

This approach reflects the Council’s commitment to employee wellbeing and innovation. Joining the Council means embracing a dynamic work culture that values flexibility and allows you to work to the best of your ability.”

 

 

Hannah Middleton - Senior Planning Officer
I’ve worked in the Planning Team for eight years where I assess and determine planning applications. What sets the Council apart is the incredible team I work with. We work collaboratively, providing support and guidance and we actively look at ways to enhance our knowledge and skills.

I enjoy working with the team to achieve positive outcomes for planning applications that not only make a difference for residents and contribute to the beautiful and evolving district.

 

Daniel Groves - Building Maintenance Supervisor

I’m happy with my career journey at the Council. I started as a carpenter 20 years ago and am now a Building Maintenance Supervisor. By embracing new skills and gaining valuable experience, I ensure projects are delivered efficiently on time and in budget, enhancing frontline services for Council tenants and residents.
