New employees

Our Chief Executive, Andrew Kerr and our Leader of the Council Cammy Day, invite you to take part in a Welcome Event webinar where you can find out more about the Council, how it supports local residents, the services it offers to them and to our many visitors.

You’ll find out about the future plans for the City of Edinburgh, which are based on feedback received from the people who live, work and visit our beautiful city.

The webinar can be accessed from your work computer or laptop, or from your own tablet or smart phone. They are no more than two hours duration and run throughout the year.
