Our Values

Pride

I am proud of the role that I play in serving the people of Salford. I take pride in my work and take ownership to get it right the first time, every time. I accept the trust and responsibility invested in me as an ambassador for the city

Passion

I am optimistic and ambitious for the city and its people, being creative and positive about change and making the most of opportunities. I generate new ideas, demonstrate initiative and share best practices. I develop strong relationships and joint work with partners and others to deliver the best possible outcomes for the people of Salford.

People

I respect and care for others, treat everyone fairly, listening and acting on the things people say. I put residents and others at the heart of what I do - doing things with people, not to them. I treat all colleagues, partners and residents with the dignity and respect that they deserve. I recognise and value the contribution that others can make to the work that I do

Personal responsibility

I am honest, taking responsibility and ownership for my actions and decisions and using resources that I am trusted with wisely. I am open and able to explain my actions and decisions to others, respectfully raising issues and solutions. I contribute to solving problems, changing how we do things and delivering the best possible outcomes.
