Located close by is historic Kingston upon Hull, City of Culture 2017, the East Yorkshire coastline and seaside towns and the rolling Yorkshire Wolds, all of which offer excellent opportunities for recreation.

BENEFITS: Generous Local Government Pension Scheme, paid professional subscriptions, support for CPD and other training opportunities, together with discounted leisure centre membership.
