Welcome to Wakefield Careers, our 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 on-line recruitment service is aimed at anyone who wants fast, easy access to information on current Wakefield Council vacancies and by using the easy to use to use search facility you can easily find the roles that interest you.

All advertisements listed link to detailed person specifications as well as our online application form and to ensure that you don't miss any new vacancies when they arise you can register for e-mail and text alerts.

Additional information to note:

Wakefield Council actively supports the redeployment of its employees during times of organisational change.  As a consequence all advertised positions may at the Council's discretion be placed on hold or removed.  Should this occur, all applicants will be notified accordingly.

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
