Ministry of Housing,
Communities and
Local Government

MHCLG is at the heart of the government’s agenda for change, aimed at growing the economy and improving people’s lives right across the United Kingdom. We do this by empowering local communities, rebuilding local government, delivering the homes people need, ensuring building safety, enabling social cohesion and supporting local growth.

If you come to work with us in housing, communities or local government, you will play a key role in the government’s five core missions to give the country a driving sense of purpose. Supporting good jobs and productivity, breaking down barriers for everyone and encouraging a sense of pride in local areas runs through all MHCLG teams, whether they are tackling homelessness, unsafe tall buildings or leasehold and planning reform; supporting the spread of devolution or finding local sponsors for refugees from war.

People are at the heart of everything we do in MHCLG, and naturally we take pride in our own open and collaborative culture. We empower and enable our colleagues to deliver at their best. Central to this is our commitment to diversity, and to creating a truly inclusive working environment. Our excellent staff networks represent and advocate for the best interests of our colleagues, and play a vital role in the department’s decision-making.

We are looking for people who have the pride, passion and skills to work alongside us in making a positive difference to the lives of citizens and communities across the UK. In return, MHCLG offers you the chance to build your career in an exciting, fast-paced department at the heart of the government’s mission, and to make a difference to the leadership of both MHCLG and the wider Civil Service.
