About Us

Leading Roles specialises in recruiting great people into local government. We offer a range of services that focus on the recruitment, retention, engagement and performance of local government employees.


Leading Roles is passionate about local government. We assist councils to recruit the highest level of professionals for every role, improving the performance of councils and delivering great service to our communities.


We do this by either working with councils on a project by project basis, providing our recruitment expertise and deep knowledge of the market.  Or, for councils seeking to create a more strategic HR function, we can take care of the time intensive elements of recruitment, leaving you to simply select the best candidates and focus on other more critical elements of managing your workforce.


As a Leading Roles candidate, we will treat you with respect, without bias and in a meaningful way.  Register with us to subscribe to job alerts, apply for jobs and to manage your application.
