Placements are available in the North East, North West, Yorkshire & the Humber, London, South East, or East of England
Who can become an Associate?
You must have at least three years of relevant professional experience and have the right to work in the UK. We accept applications from candidates with a wide range of placemaking skills – take a look at the full list of role types below.
How does it work?
As an Associate, you are matched with a minimum 12-month job placement at a public sector Authority that suits your unique skills and career ambitions. Most placements are full-time with a salary of £30,000 – £70,000. Alongside your day-to-day work at your Authority, you attend a Learning & Development (L&D) course to help you get to grips with the basics of working in local government. You'll start your job and the L&D course together with a cohort of other Associates placed at Authorities around the country, who are all passionate about making everyday places that work for everyone.
Why join the programme?
The public sector can be a difficult world to navigate. We take the time to understand your strengths and career ambitions so we can demystify the recruitment process and match you with a role where you can have a real positive impact. You'll build confidence in your public sector career journey with practical knowledge from the L&D course and peer support from a cohort of like-minded professionals.
