Local government recruitment

At Sellick Partnership, we understand that each type of council – whether borough, district, city, or county – has unique demands and responsibilities. Our extensive experience working with councils across the UK enables us to provide tailored recruitment solutions that meet the specific needs of each local authority.

Local governments often struggle to attract and retain skilled professionals, particularly in specialised areas. Sellick Partnership leverages an extensive network of sector-relevant specialists to connect local governments with highly qualified candidates. 

Our rigorous screening process ensures that candidates not only meet technical requirements but also align with the values and culture of your organisation.

With over 20 years of experience in the sector, we have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges local governments face when it comes to recruiting and retaining talent. Our longstanding partnerships mean we truly understand our clients’ needs and the complexities within their teams. We work closely to provide targeted solutions, tailored insights, and trusted support that address the specific skills gaps impacting their success.

We understand the importance of placing professionals with the right expertise in the appropriate service areas. We ensure that the candidates we provide have the necessary knowledge and experience to excel in the specific departments they will be supporting.

Local governments often operate within strict budgetary constraints, which can limit their ability to offer competitive salaries and benefits.

We help local governments maximise their recruitment budgets by offering cost-effective staffing solutions, including temporary and contract staffing. This flexibility allows you to meet immediate needs without long-term financial commitments. 

Additionally, we assist in designing attractive non-monetary benefits packages and highlighting the intrinsic rewards of public sector work, such as job stability, local government pension expectations, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

We are dedicated to supporting local governments through established frameworks that streamline recruitment processes and ensure compliance with industry standards. Our commitment to these frameworks enables us to provide clients with a reliable and efficient service while maintaining transparency and accountability. 

By leveraging our expertise and extensive network, we connect skilled professionals with rewarding opportunities in local government, helping to build a workforce that meets the unique challenges of public service.

We know how frequent turnover can disrupt operations and decrease morale within local government organisations, therefore, we can focus on long-term placements and retention strategies. 

We ensure that candidates are a good cultural fit and provide ongoing support through the onboarding process to facilitate smooth integration. Our local government recruitment specialists can assist you in creating competitive compensation packages, fostering a positive workplace culture, and providing opportunities for professional development and career progression. By focusing on these key areas, we help ensure that your organisation not only attracts the best candidates but also maintains a stable and dedicated workforce.

Our relationship with clients goes beyond just filling roles. We offer ongoing support and strategic partnership to our local government clients, helping you to plan for future workforce needs, manage employee retention, and adapt to changing healthcare landscapes. We are dedicated to your long-term success.
