One of the largest recruitment drives in North Yorkshire Council’s history has been launched this week in a bid to entice new talent.
Led by the Local Government Association under the banner Make a Difference, Work for your Local Council, it will run until the end of January.
The campaign has been launched because more than nine in 10 councils across the country are experiencing staff recruitment and retention difficulties as demand for services continues to rise, highlighting the vital need to attract more people into the workforce.
North Yorkshire has advertised for about 3,500 vacancies in the past year seeking people to fill an average of 270 roles each monthly and there can be up to 350 different jobs to apply for that change daily.
Cllr Carl Les, the leader of the council, said: “In one of our largest recruitment efforts to date, we are looking to hire staff to help deliver the key services that make the county such a fantastic place to live and work.
“As the organisation transforms, undertakes new projects, and delivers a wide array of services to communities, it needs a passionate and skilled workforce to be at the forefront.
“So, from those at the very beginning of their working lives to people looking for senior management positions, take a look at the latest vacancies to inspire your next career challenge.”
