Working for the Council

There is a wide range of opportunities in Local Government, for people with professional qualifications, with experience in the private sector or with other Local Authorities.

We take continuing training and career development very seriously. All employees are supported in pursuing qualifications and further training at the level appropriate to their jobs.

We will, in many cases, allow paid time off to enable employees at all levels to pursue career development programmes or study for professional and other qualifications.

Employees are also encouraged to work for National Vocational Qualifications that can be acquired in the workplace. Additionally, we run our own short training courses.

The Council employs around six thousand people in a wide range of roles. All vacancies are displayed on this website until the advertised closing date.
