Could you be the chief of staff for our Mayor? Do you want to contribute to creating a dynamic and more inclusive economy across Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside?

Are you a strategic thinker, with a flair for leading a team, an aptitude for comms, and the common sense to ensure that the Mayor gets to where he needs to be, with the right stuff, then this role could be ideal for you?

Supporting the Mayor to deliver on his manifesto and with a commitment to his priorities of a zero carbon and zero poverty North East, you’ll be an instinctive collaborator who can manage any project under the sun, work across a wide program of work and have the confidence to speak in public and directly with senior stakeholders on the Mayor’s behalf.

Devolution has given us the chance to make decisions about our future, so we are targeting investment where we know we need it most, ensuring economic growth is supported by people with the right skills, education and confidence to benefit from every opportunity.

At NTCA we don’t just accept difference we celebrate it; we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our team and our residents. We are proud to embrace diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way, and we are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. We know the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

If you are looking for flexibility, we follow a hybrid model. If you’re looking to relocate here then that’s great too – we offer a relocation package! By coming to work in the North of Tyne, you can enjoy a fulfilling job as well as a great quality of life, with some of the U.K.’s most beautiful countryside and beaches on your doorstep. Our flexible approach allows employees to have a great work-life balance, with your well-being at its heart.

We believe in rewarding people, so everyone at NTCA gets automatic enrolment into the local government pension scheme, a range of salary sacrifice options, and a more open leave policy (in addition to your entitled leave a minimum of 25 days plus bank holidays) and a range of support for your well-being and work life balance.
