Working at Spelthorne

Spelthorne is a place to learn and gain real breadth of experience in local government. The relatively small size of our organisation creates an effective and friendly work environment which is backed up by positive comments from staff surveys. A great deal of effort is put into providing scope for staff to build skills and experience to develop their careers.

We currently employ approximately 330 staff. Most of our employees are based at our offices in Knowle Green in Staines. These are in an excellent location, being just a short walk from the railway station and Staines Town Centre with excellent motorway links via the M25, M3 and M4. We also have a number of other smaller sites in the borough.

About the Borough

Spelthorne Borough is a compact urban area, with a population of approximately 90,000 people, covering some 20 square miles and the towns of Staines, Ashford, Shepperton, Laleham, Stanwell and Sunbury-on-Thames. The Borough is a major residential, business and retail centre in Surrey and lies adjacent to Heathrow Airport. We are located 15 miles west of Central London and are bordered by the M25 to the west, the River Thames to the south and west, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to the east and Heathrow Airport to the north.

The area comprises 65% Green Belt and the River Thames is a particular feature, forming much of the Borough boundary and we are working hard to secure even more public access along this length of the Thames.
