What Gateshead Council is recruiting for

GovJobs is currently tracking 24 open vacancies at Gateshead Council. The biggest groups are teaching and schools (7), social care (3) and planning and environment (3). 24 of them were advertised in the last 30 days. Roles are spread across 8 named locations.

24 of these adverts publish a salary. The median advertised starting figure is £37,563, and the published range runs from £1,384 to £69,596. That is broadly in line with the £36,568 median across council roles on GovJobs.

21 full-time, 3 part-time, 3 fixed-term and 21 permanent roles are advertised here, and 16 offer remote or hybrid working. Their adverts typically stay open for about 17 days, so it is worth checking back rather than waiting for a monthly look.

These figures are calculated from the vacancies GovJobs holds for Gateshead Council today, not from published workforce statistics, and they change as adverts open and close. We collect them from Northeast Jobs.

How pay works at a local authority

Councils pay on NJC pay scales — locally agreed grades built from nationally negotiated spinal column points. Each grade covers a small range of points, and staff usually move up one point a year until they reach the top of the grade. Because grades are set locally, the same job title can sit on different grades at neighbouring councils, so compare the advertised range rather than the grade label.

How to apply to Gateshead Council

Council recruitment is application-form driven, and the form is scored against the essential criteria in the person specification. Shortlisting is often done before anyone reads your CV, so every essential criterion needs to be addressed explicitly, with an example. Local government pensions come through the LGPS, and many roles are open to internal redeployees first.

GovJobs never takes the application itself — every listing above links to Gateshead Council’s own advert, where you apply directly.
