Make a difference – work for your local council

by Lisa Bennett

Have you considered working for your local council – starting a career that makes a real change?

Many roles also offer flexible working and there’s lots of career development opportunities and hundreds of different job roles to choose from.

The ‘Make a Difference, Work for your Local Council’ campaign, aims to inspire individuals to explore career opportunities that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of local residents.

Local councils provide essential services that residents rely on every day, including social care for adults and children, planning, environmental health and finance.

The campaign highlights the wide range of roles available in council services, welcoming people from all backgrounds and skill levels who are looking to begin a new role in local government.

Cllr Jayne Lonergan, Cabinet Member for Resources, said:

I’m delighted to be supporting the ‘Make a Difference, work for your local council’ campaign which highlights the range of rewarding roles available locally.

From caring for families, protecting children from harm through to ensuring your favourite takeaway or restaurant is safe and keeping our streets clean, there’s lots of opportunities available.

Attracting the right people to work for us here at Knowsley Council is vital if we’re to deliver the very best services to the people who live and work in our communities.

Working for your local council offers unparalleled opportunities to make a real difference in people’s lives and there has never been more important or valued time to join.
