Finding Your Role: Current Vacancies & Key Requirements

From a social worker passionate about protecting children and young people to a specialist practitioner leading housing and statutory homelessness services, fantastic opportunities exist across Shire Hall and Eastgate Centre locations. While each council operates its own online recruitment portal, TCL streamlines your search so you can quickly identify live vacancies matching your expertise.

*Note: Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK under the Immigration Act. In addition, fluent spoken English is a statutory requirement for customer-facing roles, and background checks (DBS) are mandatory for relevant positions.

A Straightforward Hiring Process

To help every applicant navigate the application or recruitment process effectively, we follow a clear, candidate-focused path:

1. First, review live, detailed job listings on our website. Pay close attention to the person specification and essential requirements section, as evidence in your application will be evaluated directly against these criteria.
2. Next, tailor your CV so that it clearly addresses each essential requirement within 10 to 30 seconds of reading time. We recommend providing concrete evidence using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
3. Submit your tailored application by emailing your CV directly to [email protected]. Please state the exact job title and job location in your subject line.
4. Before submitting your details to hiring managers, our team removes personal contact details to maintain an unbiased shortlisting stage.
5. Afterwards, every competent application is manually studied by a human recruiter—without using algorithms—who will guide you toward your interview schedule and offer constructive feedback.
6. Finally, candidates can elect to remain on our database beyond 6 months or submit a written request to be automatically considered when similar vacancies open up.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

As a Disability Confident Employer, the council welcomes applications from a diverse pool of talent. Specifically, local authorities across Gloucestershire actively promote positive value around age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, caring responsibilities, veteran status, and long term health conditions.

Furthermore, if you require support or reasonable adjustments during any stage of the application process, our recruitment team is dedicated to removing barriers so you can showcase your full potential.
