Employees with fixed-term employment contracts whose employment began on or after June 1, 2025, as well as employees whose employment will no longer exist at the time of the anticipated position filling, cannot be considered for internal job postings due to the current budget situation.

The Recruitment Department, with 25 employees, is responsible for all strategies and processes for recruiting for the City Administration. This includes planning and executing all staffing procedures, further developing our employer brand, and creating and implementing specific personnel marketing campaigns and measures. As recruiting is a key component of personnel management that is constantly evolving and adapting to trends, we are looking for a personality who approaches new challenges with an open, creative mindset and a hands-on mentality.

If you are employed indefinitely by the City Administration or a municipal enterprise, you can also apply for fixed-term positions. If you have an indefinite employment contract in a lower pay group, this will remain in place. You will then receive a supplement according to § 14 TVöD (VKA) for the duration of the assigned, higher-value activity as a compensatory amount to the aforementioned pay group. If you have an indefinite employment contract with a higher pay group, remuneration for the duration of the fixed-term activity will be according to the lower pay group.

Please note our information on the job filling procedure and provide the job posting number 1897 with your application.

The City Administration of Leipzig supports the professional development of its employees. Temporary job changes allow employees to acquire additional technical, methodological, and personal competencies and to get to know new areas of responsibility. These experiences serve both individual qualification and the further development of the City Administration as a whole. Employees of the City Administration of Leipzig with permanent employment contracts have the opportunity to apply for fixed-term positions within the administration and to take on other tasks for a defined period.

Changing to a fixed-term position does not affect the existing permanent employment relationship. However, after the end of the fixed-term activity, there is no entitlement to return to the previously held position. Further employment will be based on the available deployment opportunities at that time. The Personnel Transfer Department supports employees in finding a suitable further assignment in good time before the fixed term expires.
