Relocate to Bedfordshire
If you don’t already work for Luton Borough Council, why not? Luton Borough Council is keen to encourage workers to experience its cohesive culture and community spirit. They’re in no doubt that the region has a lot to offer – so much so that new recruits are offered a generous relocation package.
Not only will the Council support and advise social workers throughout their move, they can provide funding of up to £8,000 to cover expenses.
Half an hour from London, Luton has access to key roads, motorways, and the airport. It’s the perfect location for people who want quick and easy access to the capital, but prefer to save on rent and other outgoings.
In spite of its close links with London, house prices are far more affordable, and rent can be 50% lower. The average price for a property in Luton in the last 12 months was £311,638. A detached house was £457,292, semi-detached was £338,697, a terrace was £279,153 and a flat would have set you back £164,662 (source: Zoopla).
