What South Hams District Council is recruiting for

GovJobs is currently tracking 6 open vacancies at South Hams District Council. The biggest groups are HR and recruitment (1). 6 of them were advertised in the last 30 days.

6 of these adverts publish a salary. The median advertised starting figure is £29,542, and the published range runs from £25,000 to £41,177. That is below the £33,699 median across council roles on GovJobs.

4 full-time and 2 part-time roles are advertised here, and 1 offers remote or hybrid working. Their adverts typically stay open for about 18 days, so it is worth checking back rather than waiting for a monthly look.

These figures are calculated from the vacancies GovJobs holds for South Hams District Council today, not from published workforce statistics, and they change as adverts open and close. We collect them from Lg Jobs.

How pay works at a local authority

Councils pay on NJC pay scales — locally agreed grades built from nationally negotiated spinal column points. Each grade covers a small range of points, and staff usually move up one point a year until they reach the top of the grade. Because grades are set locally, the same job title can sit on different grades at neighbouring councils, so compare the advertised range rather than the grade label.

How to apply to South Hams District Council

Council recruitment is application-form driven, and the form is scored against the essential criteria in the person specification. Shortlisting is often done before anyone reads your CV, so every essential criterion needs to be addressed explicitly, with an example. Local government pensions come through the LGPS, and many roles are open to internal redeployees first.

GovJobs never takes the application itself — every listing above links to South Hams District Council’s own advert, where you apply directly.
