Working in Leeds

Leeds is a city full of energy and compassion, making it a great place to live and work. Situated in the heart of the UK, it can be easily accessible by road, rail and air.

We're one of the greenest cities in the country, with award winning parks and the beautiful Yorkshire countryside right on our doorstep. We're home to five successful universities, with a thriving jobs market and a healthy digital and creative scene. Not to mention, a strong and fast growing production sector that has seen the likes of Channel 4 move to the city to open its national headquarters.

As one of the largest employers in the region, we employ over 15,000 people across a wide range of roles and services — doing amazing work that matters, while delivering top quality customer services. With a clear vision, we're set for the future, ready to become an even more distinctive, sustainable, ambitious and creative city for all.

As a city the profile of Leeds has never been higher. This is a source of great pride and as a council we are absolutely determined to drive Leeds forward as a place of opportunity for all.

— Leader Councillor Judith Blake

Together We Are Stronger is a partnership between Leeds City Council and Building a Stronger Britain Together to celebrate the people of Leeds and the pride we have in our city.
