Life in local government

People used to think that working for the local government was second best to working in the private sector. Now times have changed, and so have we. If you’re searching for a career that offers unparalleled opportunities for career development, a fast-paced environment and the opportunity to fulfil your ambitions, look no further.

We know it’s not just about the money - our research has shown us that having a positive effect on other people’s lives is one of the main reasons people choose to work for the Council. But we recognise that people need to be rewarded financially as well as emotionally.

In an increasingly unstable job market, we offer real job security, training opportunities and guaranteed pensions. And, unlike the private sector, we don’t demand that our staff work ridiculously long hours. We have flexi-time and host of schemes to ensure your life outside of work isn’t compromised.

In short, working for the local government adds up to a better life for you, in and outside of work.
