I 100% see myself staying at the council. There are great benefits and lots of opportunities, and I love the people I work with.
Customer Services
We’re the council’s main point of contact, answering people’s questions over the phone and in person and helping them to access a variety of services. This includes offering a range of computers, self-service stations and document scanners for customers to use at various sites across the city.
Join us and you’ll find a fast-paced, rewarding and fun environment, even though we often deal with serious issues. You’ll enjoy plenty of support and full training to support people who can often be vulnerable or upset. This is a great place to learn about different areas of the council and there are opportunities to move into other departments.
Our modern customer service centre in Granby Street is open 8am-6pm, Monday-Friday, so we offer flexible working hours, starting between 8am and 9.30am to suit your personal needs. We also offer part-time working.

We welcome up to 3,000 people a month into our offices on Granby Street and you’ll be there as they walk through the door, to help them find the answer they need. How?

Meet some of the team
Jade
Customer Service Assistant and Events Co-ordinator
I work at New Walk Museum, helping to keep our galleries open and accessible to the public. It’s a hive of activity - if we’re not stewarding galleries or welcoming school groups, we’re designing new gallery resources, arranging weddings, dealing with venue hire and working with local contractors to maintain the historic building. Every day has the potential to be different.
Anees
Customer Contact Officer, Finance
I really enjoy being there to help people and the city council is one of the best platforms to do this. It can be a stressful job at times, but everyone’s friendly and upbeat, so we always pull through together as a team. We help each other out when it gets tough and the team leaders and manager are supportive.
