London Public Sector Jobs Blog

Two search terms have climbed rapidly up our London public sector search rankings this quarter: "DevOps" and "Cloud". Five years ago, local authority and NHS technical recruitment revolved largely around on-premise server administration and legacy database support. Today, London Borough Councils and NHS Trusts are actively modernising their digital estates—migrating citizen portals, housing systems, and clinical data platforms onto Azure and AWS. As a result, demand for Cloud Engineers, DevOps Specialists, Platform Engineers, and Infrastructure-as-Code skills (such as Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines) has surged across public employers. Crucially, public sector bodies are pairing competitive £55,000–£85,000 salaries with generous local government and NHS pensions plus flexible hybrid working. Looking for your next technical role? Search DevOps or Cloud on our live index or set up a daily email alert to catch new roles the day they are posted.

You may have noticed banner adverts appearing across our search and job details pages recently, and we want to apologise for the extra visual clutter. London Public Sector Jobs aggregates thousands of live vacancies across all 32 London Borough Councils, the City of London, the GLA, and NHS Trusts—completely free for job seekers. Running daily crawlers, maintaining our Lucene search engine, and paying for cloud hosting and daily email alerts all carry ongoing monthly costs. While we explore cleaner long-term funding options, these display banners help keep the servers running and the platform free for everyone. We have kept every official "Apply on Portal" link direct and unobstructed so you can always apply straight to the employer. Thank you for your patience and support!
