Council departments

Just over 6,000 people work for the Council, making it one of the largest employers in the city.

The jobs they do range from social work to teaching Derby's children to engineering, lawyers, surveyors and environmental health officers.

The Council is currently split into three directorates and is led by Chief Executive Paul Simpson.

Please note: We are currently updating our structure charts, and these will be available from this page soon.
