Welcome to Wakefield careers

Welcome to Wakefield Careers, our new look recruitment website, we hope you will find it helpful and informative.

This is where you will find out about the many different opportunities we have at the Council. You will also find out about how we reward our employees, the benefits available and how we support career development.

Our new on-line recruitment service is aimed at anyone who wants fast, easy access to information on current vacancies within the council, and who wants to save time when applying for a job. You can receive details by e-mail and there is easy to use search facilities to help find the job that's just right for you. All adverts link to detailed job description and person specifications, as well as our online application form.

Wakefield Council is a participating organisation in the National Fraud Initiative. If you are successful in your application, as your employer, the Council will share your payroll data both within the Council and with other local authorities for the purpose of preventing and detecting fraud. Consequently, once your employment commences, if you are in receipt of any means tested benefits (e.g. council tax benefit, job seekers allowance, etc) you must disclose details of your employment to the relevant Benefit-paying Authority.

Further information on the National Fraud Initiative can be found at
