As well as jobs for those who want to look after the borough’s parks and greenspaces, there are also vacancies in the social care sector and in housing – with roles from housing repair and maintenance to support staff.

Schools also have a range of vacancies, with admin assistants and cleaners, exam invigilators and lunchtime supervisors, teaching assistants as well as teaching posts.

Councillor Simon Phipps, cabinet member for transformation and performance said: “Dudley Council is committed to making sure local people receive the best possible public services and our employees are proud to work for us and serve the people of Dudley.

“We have a range of vacancies at the moment, mainly in our greencare, social care and housing teams, and we’re keen to expand the range of apprenticeships we offer, giving young people the opportunity to start their careers.

“Anyone interested in working for Dudley Council should visit WMJobs website where all of our vacancies are listed and people can sign up for alerts for any areas they are particularly interested in.”

The council is looking to increase the range of apprenticeships it offers through the Apprenticeship Levy – a UK business charge used to fund apprenticeship training.
