We’re delighted that you’re interested in working with us. You’d be joining us at a very exciting time.

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. Our actions speak louder than words, and with flexi-time and hybrid working available across many of our roles, as well as a full suite of outstanding employee benefits, we’re confident that it isn’t just the salary that attracts our staff.

The Highways & Waste team are responsible for ensuring that Gateshead is a safe and attractive place in which people can live, work and spend free time. From waste strategy, including collection and recycling to the maintenance of our highways and street lighting. You’ve probably also noticed significant investment in the restoration of the Tyne Bridge, and our Highways team continue to play a pivotal role in that restoration project of a local landmark.

At Gateshead Council, we're proud to serve our communities, create opportunities, and make Gateshead a great place to live, work and visit.

Assisting the Network Manager with the preparation of reports, evidence and documentation relating to legal processes and submissions.
Providing professional advice and guidance on public rights of way matters, keeping up to date with relevant legislation, policy and best practice.
Helping to shape and deliver a customer-focused, high-quality service that meets the needs of residents, visitors and stakeholders.
Working collaboratively with internal teams, external partners and local communities to support the effective management of the rights of way network.

What you'll bring:

Rights of Way legislation and practice
Local Government procedures
5 GCSEs at Grades AC (or equivalent), including English and Mathematics
Current full driving licence
Experience of using IT systems and digital tools within a public service environment
Experience of applying effective organisational, communication and negotiating skills
