What our people say

Mariam Imdad

The whole department has a shared goal to improve services and will go beyond to support one another in achieving this. In the year of my secondment with DTS, I have learned a variety of skills from administering applications to taking part in user research. The department's shared goal is set on improving and developing the council, both internally and externally.

Sabby Sagoo

I love being part of the Council's Digital and Technology Services because the work I do is both stimulating and challenging. There are always opportunities to learn new skills within DTS. It is good to be part of a positive team where I feel that my contributions are very much valued.

Warren Jones

Working for Digital and Technology Services at the Council for many years has genuinely taught me values such as innovation, collaboration and creativity are recognised and that, despite the challenges we face, we still feel encouraged to share ideas, challenge ourselves and take ownership. This ultimately is down to the people within DTS, many talented and diverse individuals who are passionate about their work and share a common goal of 'getting the job done' for our users.

Mahmood Aslam

The flexibility of working from home, the colleagues I work with and most importantly I work with the best manager I have ever worked for in my entire career. I say this because I have worked for GEC, Sony and Panasonic before coming to work at Birmingham City Council. The trust and responsibility he places on his staff, the training opportunities made available and the respectful approach to managing staff makes you want to go the extra mile to get the work done.
