We pride ourselves on our ambitious and forward-thinking approach to taking care of Gateshead and its people, and we passionately believe that our employees reflect that spirit in truly enabling Gateshead to thrive.

At Gateshead Council you’d be a highly valued member of a team that recognises and respects the skills that you bring to your role, encourages creativity and passionately advocates a great work / life balance.

Working as part of a friendly, handson team, you’ll support the day-to-day delivery of essential frontline services including refuse collection, street cleansing, and grounds maintenance.
