Salaries and benefits

• £21,588 (plus London weighting)
• Generous holiday entitlement
• Pension scheme
• Unrivalled work/life balance

The package we offer demonstrates that local government is a very serious player in the graduate market. You’ll be employed by your local authority on a two–year fixed–term contract and receive a salary of at least £21,588 - further benefits will depend on the policy of the individual authority, but will typically include generous holiday entitlement and eligibility to join the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

You’ll find that local authorities are very flexible employers and supportive of a genuine work/life balance. You won’t be expected to work long hours on a continual basis and we’ll do our best to support you if you need leave for a particular reason, such as religious festivals.
