Job Description

A magnificently refurbished Edwardian building on the banks of the famous River Tyne, originally home to the Tyne Tees Steam Ship Company. There's a nod to the building's maritime past at every turn - from ship ropes in the courtyard, to porthole windows in some of the rooms. Moments from the city centre, offering fantastic views of the city's quayside and bridges. Newcastle upon Tyne is a university city and with its twin city, Gateshead, it was a major shipbuilding and manufacturing hub during the Industrial Revolution and is now a centre of business, arts and sciences.
