Our business support teams work with every area of the council, providing the vital administrative support they need to work smoothly and efficiently for the people of Leicester. From professional Admin and Business Support Officers to Executive Assistants and receptionists to Electoral Service Officers, we work behind the scenes to ensure the council delivers excellent services.

By keeping processes running, producing key documentation and maintaining records, we enable colleagues such as social workers, planners and directors to focus on their vital work. With the introduction of new technologies, it’s less about bureaucracy and more about adding value to support each business area. By being innovative in our approach and working cost-effectively, we help every area of the council to make the most of their experience and expertise and provide value for money for people across the city.

Working in our Procurement department offers a wide range of challenges that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere. The sheer diversity of the council’s work means you’ll find your skills are constantly challenged in a variety of contexts. So, one day, you could be involved in buying systems to manage traffic flow and the next you might be looking at procuring vital social care provision. It’s interesting and varied work with a caring employer that aims to ensure you ensure a good balance between work and life.
