Glasgow City Council hiring 350 'frontline' staff to improve look and feel of city

More than 350 jobs are now up for grabs at Glasgow City Council as the local authority launches a huge hiring spree.

The 359 posts being advertised are for positions in street cleansing, parking enforcement, roads, pest control and waste enforcement.

The frontline staff recruitment drive comes after last month’s budget set aside £7 million for services that are a priority for Glaswegians, including cleaning up the city.

Three information sessions will take place over the next fortnight for people wishing to apply with the first one hosted at on the council’s Eastgate building on 727 London Road on March 24 from 11am to 5pm.

Another two sessions will be staged in the City Chambers’ Banqueting Hall on Tuesday, April 1 from 5pm to 8.30pm and again on Thursday, April 3 from 11am to 7pm.

Councillor Laura Doherty, city convener for neighbourhood services and assets, said the recruitment drive is a great opportunity for people to step up for the city.

Councillor Doherty said: “These new jobs represent a fantastic chance to come and make a difference for Glasgow.

“There are posts available all across our frontline services that will make a big impact in local communities throughout the city. Jobs are available in street cleansing, parks, roads, pest control and enforcement and all of these roles will help to improve the look and feel of the city.

“This recruitment drive reflects the priorities of the people of Glasgow and follows the substantial investment in frontline services agreed in the council’s recent budget. The council is a great place to work and new starts will be joining colleagues who want nothing but the best for Glasgow.

“Anyone interested in taking on one of these new jobs should come to one of our information sessions, check our website or visit MyJobScotland to apply. We look forward to our new teams helping to keep Glasgow clean and safe.”

The new posts are open to applications on MyJobScotland until April 6, 2025.
