Early careers

We're committed to building a talented workforce for the future.


From first insights through our work experience programme to joining us as an apprentice or graduate we're committed to developing people to build the skills needed for the future.

You don't need local government experience to apply for our opportunities. We're an inclusive and supportive environment, so no matter what your background you'll have an opportunity to succeed.

Graduate development programme

Our first ever graduate development programme group started work with us in September 2023.

Aimed at those who are either about to or have recently graduated from university, our 2-year programme provides an ideal opportunity to take that first step into a career in local government.

Working on meaningful and impactful projects that will make a real difference to the lives of people in Derbyshire, our graduates are part of a talented and diverse team, working alongside experienced professionals and receiving support and development to help them succeed in their career. 

Please check back soon for updates on when applications will open for the next graduate development programme.
