City of Spencer Seeks New Talent to Strengthen Community Services

In the heart of Van Buren County, the City of Spencer is opening the door for new talent to join its team. A newly announced job opportunity offers residents the chance to build a meaningful career in local government—helping maintain the essential operations that keep the community running.

The position reflects a broader commitment by the city to invest in reliable services, economic stability, and long-term growth. As a small town with deep Appalachian roots, Spencer may be quiet in size, but its goals are bold: maintain infrastructure, support its citizens, and build a workforce that reflects the pride of its people.

This recruitment effort is getting an added boost through a regional partnership with Workforce Connections and Empower Upper Cumberland, two organizations working to bridge job seekers with employment opportunities throughout the region. Through these partnerships, residents can access job readiness training, résumé assistance, and support services that go beyond just applying for a job—they’re about building sustainable careers.

“We’re proud to support communities like Spencer as they invest in their workforce,” said Mallory Copeland with Workforce Connections. “Local government roles provide stability and purpose. They’re the kind of jobs that don’t just pay the bills—they support the fabric of a town.”

Spencer’s opening isn’t just a job—it’s a call to those who want to serve their neighbors and help shape the future of a historic Tennessee community. With workforce resources behind them, applicants can approach this opportunity with confidence.

Those interested can contact their local American Job Center or connect with Workforce Connections to learn more about the position and available support programs. You can reach Mallory at:
