This half-day course is for all new staff who have recently joined Brighton & Hove City Council.

The course aims are to welcome new staff to the council, provide an overview of the visions and priorities of the council and give an opportunity to learn about the organisational and political structure.

New staff will have the opportunity to meet and ask questions of the chief executive or a executive director.
