It is not a legal requirement for local authorities, including town councils to advertise vacancies for temporary positions.

Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each County and City Manager is responsible for staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible.
