Then look no further than the West Yorkshire Combined Authority

We currently have a vacancy for a HR Advisor to join our Human Resources team.

It is an exciting time to be joining the Mayoral Combined Authority.

We have a wide variety of exciting projects that we are working on which will help shape the West Yorkshire region.

In 2021 the £1.8bn devolution deal was secured for West Yorkshire.

This meant the first Mayor of West Yorkshire was subsequently elected, with Tracy Brabin taking up post in May 2021.


The devolution deal and election of the Mayor has enabled us to start to drive up living standards for local communities while tackling the climate emergency and helping to deliver our commitment to become a net zero carbon city region by 2038.
