Welcome to Glasgow

Glasgow City Council is Scotland's largest local authority with 27,000 employees and a gross annual budget of more than £2.8 billion. A further 4,500 staff work for our arm’s length partner organisations known as the Glasgow Family.  

We want Glasgow to flourish as a modern, multi-cultural, metropolitan city of opportunity, achievement, culture and sporting excellence where citizens and businesses thrive and visitors are always welcomed.  

Our Strategic Plan sets out four key challenges and more than 230 commitments on how all council services will help address, support and deliver on the city's main priorities. The four grand challenges which have been identified are:-

  • Reduce poverty and inequality in our communities
  • Increase opportunity and prosperity for all our citizens
  • Fight the climate emergency in a just transition to a net zero Glasgow
  • Enable staff to deliver essential services in a sustainable, innovative, and efficient way for our communities.

The plan outlines missions that cover ambitious aims including ending child poverty, improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, supporting residents into sustainable and fair work, delivering sustainable transport, becoming a net zero carbon city by 2030, creating safe, clean, and thriving neighbourhoods, raising attainment amongst children and young people, and running an open, well governed council in partnership with all our communities.

 

To help achieve these aims, Glasgow City Council and the Glasgow Family offer rewarding and challenging jobs and careers across a diverse range of public services such as: -

  • Education and Social Care
  • Culture and Sporting Services
  • Community Safety
  • Roads Maintenance and Street Lighting
  • Parks and Open Spaces
  • Cleaning and Refuse Collection
  • Construction and Maintenance
