These responsibilities include working with both internal and external partners including Northumbria University to deliver measurable behaviour change around sources of zero carbon heat, establish and manage the project's procedures including health and safety compliance, engage and manage stakeholders, and produce reports and records as determined by the funding requirements.


The post is a fixed term position, 37hrs per week, at K-grade (£40, ,516), and will be based in Gateshead Civic Centre with the opportunity for hybrid working.
