WHY NOT CONSIDER A CAREER WITH ORKNEY ISLANDS COUNCIL?

We might be the smallest local authority in Scotland, but we punch well above our weight — delivering day-to-day essential services, as well as those big innovative ideas that make a difference to the people of Orkney and its future.

We’re an employer that cares for its staff, offering flexible working practices, strong career pathways, and support for individual learning and development — recently achieving

Investors in People accreditation for the first time.

At Orkney Islands Council, there is a role to suit everyone. Interested in a caring and nurturing profession? Are you an IT whizz? Do you have a background in finance or transportation? Maybe you are interested in the administration side of business, human resources, or have a passion for the arts or sport and leisure? Do you want to be part of innovative projects that will make a huge impact, not only here in Orkney, but across the rest of the country too — whether that be the £100million Islands Growth Deal, or Orkney’s Community Wind Farm Project?

Whatever your preference, there’s never been a better time to join us, as we strive to become an employer of choice — so important, given we are Orkney’s biggest employer, providing jobs for around 20 per cent of the county’s working population.
