About the Role and Team
Mole Valley Life supports people who may require assistance in their everyday lives, to remain independent and connected to their communities.

The post is based in Leatherhead and Dorking, although you will be required to work throughout the Mole Valley area. The Council offers excellent conditions of service and a friendly working environment.

- Flexibility around working patterns – Willingness to work Weekends and Bank Holidays

Local Government Reorganisation (LGR)
Mole Valley District Council is preparing for a major transformation through Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) which will come into effect on 1 April 2027. The aim of LGR is to create a more streamlined, efficient and locally responsive system of government that strengthens public services. You can find out more about the LGR on the Surrey LGR Hub website
Mole Valley District Council will become part of the new East Surrey Unitary Council and this authority will be responsible for all services in the eastern part of the county.
As we move toward LGR, we want to reassure all applicants that roles linked to Mole Valley District Council will continue beyond the transition period and arrangements are in place to ensure that staff will transfer on existing terms and conditions to the new East Surrey Council.
