ICT and Digital touches every single area of the council - and everyone who works with us.

Talking and listening to people who use our services about their needs means we can use the latest tech like our digital platform or Microsoft 365 capabilities, to come up with solutions that work for them, this includes devices and tools to help us work smarter and more flexibly at Dorset Council too.

We offer exciting and challenging opportunities to make a real difference to our colleagues and the people of Dorset.

Now there’s a chance to join us as we extend our transformation journey even further.
