North East Derbyshire District Council Jobs

North East Derbyshire District Council is the local authority covering the north-east corner of Derbyshire, serving communities including Wingerworth, Clay Cross, Eckington, Dronfield and Killamarsh in the East Midlands. Like most district councils, it delivers a wide range of local services, from planning and environmental health to leisure centres, council tax and benefits.

Housing and homelessness function

The council runs a dedicated Housing and Health service covering homelessness prevention and advice, empty properties, private housing standards, and Discretionary Housing Payments for residents struggling with housing costs. Day-to-day management and repairs of the council's own housing stock are carried out by Rykneld Homes, an arm's-length management organisation linked closely with the council, while the council itself retains the statutory lead on homelessness prevention and housing options.

• Housing options and homelessness prevention advice
• Discretionary Housing Payments and Local Housing Allowance support
• Private housing standards and empty property enforcement
• Housing stock managed via Rykneld Homes (ALMO)

As an employer, the council offers the Local Government Pension Scheme, generous annual leave, and flexible/hybrid working, with several roles shared across neighbouring Derbyshire district councils under joint service arrangements. Its current vacancies span technical, leisure, environmental and planning services, alongside periodic housing and homelessness-related posts as the council's Housing and Health team recruits.
