We are Devon County Council’s own in-house temporary staffing bank and have access to opportunities across the breadth of the organisation. We supply temporary and casual staff to each service area within the authority, as well as supplying external organisations that are either within the public sector, not for profit, or charity.
Registering with Temp Solutions gives you access to all our temporary work opportunities that can help develop your skills, knowledge, and experience in a variety of industries.
Although the duration of each vacancy varies depending on service need, typically our placements last for 3 – 12 months. Our aim is to keep our outstanding temps working with us so if we know the placement will be ending, we aim to make contact about other opportunities within the council or with our external customers.
If you are a flexible, motivated, and enthusiastic individual looking to upskill or try something new whilst making a difference to lives of people in Devon and can commit to working a minimum of 30 hours per week, then we want to hear from you!
