Work/Life Balance

Working in Angus can be a rewarding experience, offering a work-life balance unrivalled by some of the more urban centres of Britain. Commuting to work can be a pleasure, and Angus not only offers the lifestyle many dream of, but also a variety of work opportunities, offering challenges and reward.

Angus has a diverse geography and like its landscape, Angus's work opportunities are diverse and offer great opportunities across the county and beyond. Key industries in the Angus area are manufacturing and engineering, tourism, textiles, oil and gas, agriculture and food processing.

The county is conveniently close to the commercial centres of Dundee and Aberdeen, and offers a good base and high quality of life for commuters. In return these cities offer work opportunities in medicine, life sciences and engineering, technology, research and education.

Angus's communities are well served with job centres, career advice, employment and training initiatives and financial advice.
