Government & Public Safety jobs near The Villages
7 active jobs near The Villages. Most are with City of Clermont, State of Florida (MyFlorida) and City of Eustis.
Government is the biggest job search in the three-county area. Google data for Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties shows 10,000 to 100,000 monthly searches for "City of Ocala jobs," and 100 to 1,000 each for Marion County, Sumter County, Lake County, and Wildwood city jobs. Lake County government jobs searches grew sharply over the past year.
The problem for job seekers is that these employers each post on their own site. The City of Leesburg uses NEOGOV, a government hiring site. The Sumter County Sheriff uses iRecruit. The State of Florida lists its jobs on People First, and county health departments, such as Sumter's, accept applications only there. Other cities, counties, and sheriffs have their own pages. This page collects them in one place.
Typical roles include dispatchers, utility and public works workers, parks and recreation staff, clerks, deputies and officers, and administrative positions. Pay and benefits are often listed on the posting, and many government jobs require a background check.
