A great way to find out more about working in local government is to speak to people who already work there. If you know someone who works for your local council, why not have a chat with them? Ask them to tell you about what they do, what they like about their work and what kind of challenges they face.
Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone who works for the council. We’ve asked people in councils around the country to share some of their experiences of working in local government. Follow the links below to find out more about what they do.
