On 1st April 2023, Somerset's five councils became one to form a single #SomersetCouncil. This account is no longer active but you can follow the new Somerset Council LinkedIn at @SomersetCouncil

Our vision is for an open, fair, green North Somerset. We will provide strong community leadership and work transparently with our residents, businesses and partners to deliver our ambitions for North Somerset. We aim to reduce inequalities and promote fairness and opportunity for everyone. We will lead our communities to protect and enhance our environment, tackle the climate emergency and drive sustainable development. To help us focus on the right thing we have set ourselves three broad aims, each with a set of priorities. Achieving these priorities will help us to realise our vision. Our aims are: - a thriving and sustainable place - a council which empowers and cares about people; and - an open and enabling organisation How we do things is just as important as what we do, so we also have an agreed set of behaviours for everyone who works here: - we act with integrity - we respect each other - we innovate - we care - we collaborate Read more about the council, the area and our plans for the future in our corporate plan at www.n-somerset.gov.uk/corporateplan.

Think you know the Royal British Legion? Think again. You probably know us for our poppies and recognise our name but the day-to-day work we do to support the Armed Forces community might surprise you! We’re the country’s largest Armed Forces charity. We help serving and ex-serving personnel, and their families, live fulfilling lives through a wide range of support and services. We advocate and campaign to government on behalf of the Armed Forces community, as well as leading the nation in Remembrance to ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten. We’re here for those who’ve served to defend our nation, its democratic freedoms and our way of life. To put it plainly, we’ve always got their backs, whatever stage of life they’re at. Help shape our future It’s a really exciting time to join us and play a part in changing the lives of the people we support, and our future capacity and capability. Working at RBL means working with colleagues who are young at heart, keen to learn and eager to make change. Our team is massively committed to our mission and proud of what we achieve. We employ around 1,800 people across the country to campaign on behalf of the Armed Forces Community, deliver support services, lead Remembrance, raise funds to support our work and develop and run the organisation and our network of membership branches. From our major hub offices, we work collaboratively and have flexible/hybrid working practices in place. And with the latest technology colleagues can connect with one another, our members and beneficiaries, and come together around our common purpose and values.
