At Hays we know that the public sector’s recruitment needs, and your career progression, are unique.

We have dedicated public sector recruiting experts in each of our specialist divisions and offices who place people just like you into temporary, contract and permanent roles.

How can we help you?

Beyond understanding your skills and experience, we take the time to understand your aspirations and motivations, building the insight required to identify the role that will help you achieve your full potential.

As an approved supplier of key local, state and federal government agreements, and with strong relationships across not-for-profit and charitable organisations, the education sector and publicly-funded healthcare providers and utilities, we also have access to the best public sector jobs available.

Crucially, we’ll support you throughout your entire career. We’ll guide you through complex recruitment processes and provide you with access to online timesheets. We also provide upskilling opportunities through our online training system Pulse to help you progress your public sector career through us.

As a trusted recruitment partner to the public sector, we’re committed to supplying a diverse shortlist for each vacancy. We are an equal opportunities employer dedicated to driving positive diversity and inclusion change. We actively encourage people from diverse backgrounds to apply.

Through all of this, we believe that we must always do the right thing. This underpins everything we do and is the reason that public sector candidates and organisations partner with us long-term. This belief unites us and ensures we place the right person in the right role every time.

That’s why people keep coming back to us whenever they are ready for their next temporary, contract or permanent position.

We currently have numerous roles available, so begin your job search or contact us for more information on how we can help.
