Looking for a secondment?
Local Government Yorkshire and Humber have developed a programme to promote and provide secondment opportunities. This programme is open to professionals, who could be employed within Local Government, other public sector bodies or within the private sector.
Secondments provide the opportunity to develop people and partnerships that add to the organisations standing both internally and externally within the local community.
The success of Local Authorities depends on how effective the performance of its employees is at meeting the organisational priorities and needs. Secondment is increasingly being recognised as a valuable tool for development, making the best use of people’s skills and experience.
