The City of Santa Barbara celebrates inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility within our community and organization through meaningful actions to ensure everyone has opportunities for success. We value the diverse experiences, skills, perspectives, and styles that each individual brings to City service. Our commitment to inclusion empowers each person to be their unique self.

To support our mission, the City is dedicated to fostering a diverse environment through inclusive hiring and employment practices.

We believe in cultivating a work environment where employees are valued, respected, and empowered. If you are interested in making a difference in your community, contributing ideas, and being part of the City team, you are strongly encouraged to apply!
