London Borough of Hackney

Why Work at Hackney Council?

At Hackney Council, work is more than just a day job — it’s a chance to be part of a team that genuinely shapes the place people call home. Whether you’re helping to design better services, maintain cleaner streets, or support some of our most vulnerable residents, your work has purpose here.

We’re proud to support a workforce as diverse as the borough itself. We don’t just talk about inclusion — we build it into our culture, our policies, and our day-to-day decisions. With flexible working arrangements, excellent benefits and plenty of space to grow, we make sure our people feel supported, valued and able to thrive.

Perks range from generous holiday leave and one of the strongest local government pension schemes, to subsidised fitness classes, cycle-to-work schemes, and access to wellbeing services. Our hybrid working model gives you the flexibility to shape how and where you work best.

We’re also consistently recognised for doing things the right way — whether it’s being a London Living Wage employer, earning top marks in the Mayor’s Good Work Standard, or championing inclusive leadership across the council.

If you want your next role to have real impact — on a team where your voice counts — Hackney is the place to be.
