What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Don't try to impress too much with 'flowery' words in your application form - try to think what the recruiter is looking for in a successful applicant. This can often be found on the ngdp website! Repeat this back to them in a clear and succinct manner. ...without it sounding like you're repeating the website word-for-word.

Know why you want to apply for a role in local government from the off as your motivations behind applying will get rooted out sooner rather than later (i.e. be passionate about local government, rather than it just being another application to add to the grad scheme pile).

Do you have any interview tips?

Know the differences between all types of councils (unitary, upper-tier, lower-tier, metropolitan, etc.) and the services they provide.

Research the council where you're being interviewed: know their corporate prioirities, key areas of work, working culture, location, etc.
