Careers at Council is your local government online careers hub. It’s run by the Local Government Associations and is packed with useful information showcasing what candidates can expect from a career in council. We showcase council employees who are already making a difference in their community, provide information about the breadth of work on offer and the suggested qualifications suitable for the many roles in local government. Candidates can browse current job opportunities via keyword and location searches or register for job alerts so they are the first to be informed of new career opportunities.
