Each advert's figures, which ones did best, and what we'd change next quarter. Your real figures fill these boxes.
Partner plans are for organisations hiring their own staff: councils, public bodies and the organisations that work for them. Agencies can take Partner (up to 5 jobs live), not Partner Plus or Partner National; agency jobs are sourced differently, so please ask us how it works for you. Prices exclude VAT. Invoiced annually. Councils: happy to be set up as a supplier.
Responsive, human support whether you’re posting one job or twenty. Send it to us and we do the work.

Why LOCALAUTHORITYJOBS.COM
Only councils and public bodies
Every job on the site is with a council or public body, so every visitor is looking for public service work.
Real jobs from real employers
We limit agency adverts, so your vacancy isn’t buried under agency listings.
Priced for council budgets
Low, fixed prices with no contracts, so one advert or fifty fits the budget you have.
Every paid advert gets its fair turn
No first-come-first-served, no being pushed off the page by whoever booked last.
Fair rotation
Premium adverts take turns at the top of the home page and search results. The advert seen least over the past week goes up first, so every Premium job gets an equal share.
Shown where it’s relevant
Your advert rotates on the pages that match it: the area pages for where the job is, and the job title pages for what it is. A Leeds housing officer job isn’t wasted on Cornwall.
We count every view
We count each time your advert actually appears on someone’s screen, and where on the site it was seen. Ask us for your figures at any time.
Questions employers ask
Can the advert go live before our purchase order is raised?
Yes. We can publish your advert straight away and add your PO number to the invoice later.
Do prices include VAT?
No. All prices exclude VAT, which is added to the invoice.
What if we fill the role early?
Swap in another vacancy from your organisation for the rest of the listing period, free.
How long does an advert stay up?
Standard and Featured adverts are listed for 30 days, Premium for up to 60 days.
Can we change the advert once it’s live?
Yes, edits are free at any time. Just email us the changes.
How do we know our advert is being seen?
We count every time your advert appears on someone’s screen, and where (home page, search, area and job title pages). Premium adverts take fair turns at the top, the least seen going up first. Ask us for your figures at any time.
Do we need an account to advertise?
No. Book online or email your job description to jobs@localauthorityjobs.com and we publish it for you.
We’re an advertising agency booking for a client. Do you pay commission?
Yes, recognised advertising agencies receive a standard commission, agreed in writing.
