Gateshead is at the heart of the north-east, and one of the most vibrant, passionate communities in the UK. Nestled along the River Tyne, and overlooked by the world-class tilting Gateshead Millennium Bridge, we have massive ambition for the future.

We're looking for a strategic, dynamic Head of Communications & Engagement who can match that ambition and help put communications & engagement at the centre of our work, as we undertake an ambitious plan focused on our local environment, housing development and regenerating one of the country's highest-profile metropolitan boroughs.

You'll be a confident, ambitious and experienced communications leader, who can win hearts and minds and lead a team of multi-discipline communications staff to ensure our messaging to residents and staff is at the heart of everything we do.

If you think you're up to the challenge, we want to hear from you.
