People are encouraged to ‘Make a Difference’ in their communities by embarking on a rewarding career with their local council.
A new national campaign, ‘Make a Difference, Work for your Local Council’, aims to inspire individuals to explore career opportunities that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of local residents.
Local councils like us provide essential services that residents rely on every day. At Charnwood, our services include operating leisure centres, managing open spaces, planning, environmental health, licensing, economic regeneration, markets and events and don't forget emptying those bins.
Other councils, like the county council, offer services such as social care for adults and children.
The campaign highlights the wide range of roles available across all council services, welcoming people from all backgrounds and skill levels who are looking to begin a new role in local government.
Produced in collaboration between the Local Government Association (LGA), Solace, Regional Employers Organisations, and councils across the country as part of the LGA’s Sector Support Offer, and funded by the UK Government, the campaign showcases the variety of meaningful and fulfilling opportunities in local government.
Here at Charnwood we are proud to support the campaign and will be featuring some of the opportunities here and some of our great team members who serve the Charnwood community every day.
With over nine in 10 councils experiencing recruitment and retention challenges amid growing demand for services, this initiative comes at a crucial time. It aims to address workforce shortages by attracting new talent into councils, ensuring they can continue to provide the vital services on which communities depend.
Anyone interested in discovering how they can contribute to the future of their community by working for their local council can visit the dedicated campaign website:
The campaign website includes a postcode search to help job seekers find their ideal role. With hundreds of jobs in varying roles across the country, there are roles to suit all levels of experience, skills, and ambitions.
