Working for Leeds City Council
Being open, honest and trusted — that's what our council is built on. Our aim is to recruit and develop talented people who share our council values and ambitions.
We are a political organisation, with a responsibility for providing local services and facilities. There are 99 elected councillors across the city to represent our citizens at a local level and help drive change for the better.
We are proud of the work we do every day to deliver for our city, from keeping our streets clean to delivering major cultural and sporting events, and much more.
