North Yorkshire
Looking for that lifestyle you have always dreamed of? It could be closer than you think!
Whether you want to escape the hustle of the City, improve the opportunities for your family with safe communities, great education and low unemployment, or pursue your personal interests and hobbies….. North Yorkshire has it all!
North Yorkshire is England's largest county and one of the most rural. The area comprises the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors, three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Pennines and a stunning coastline around Scarborough and Whitby. The area hosted the phenomenal Tour de France in 2014, and due to its success has created the Tour de Yorkshire with global recognition. There are ruined castles and abbeys, serene gardens, unique breweries, thrilling rides and industrial heritage. Something for everyone!
North Yorkshire has plenty to offer the outdoor enthusiast. From the hard gritstone of Almscliff and Brimham rocks to the limestone of Malham, Gordale and Kilnsey climbing venues are in abundance. The Yorkshire Dales is the premier area for caving and for mountain biking; there are the bridleways of the Dales and North York Moors as well as the renowned trail centre at Dalby Forest. The Lake District and the fells, crags and coast of Northumberland are all easily accessible for days and weekends away. There are a small number of sailing clubs on reservoirs around the county and fantastic surfsport venues and sea kayaking on the east coast.
While the county is rightly known for its wide open spaces, it also incorporates attractive market towns including Pickering and Helmsley, traditional seaside towns, the Spa town of Harrogate and the ancient city of York - the most visited city outside of London. There are a wide range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities as well as excellent schools, universities, road and rail links, there really is everything to offer you and your family as a place to work, live and enjoy!
Travelling further afield we have convenient connectivity, with close proximity to metropolitan cities of Leeds and Newcastle, with little over two hours commute on the main train line to London. We border the Lake District, Lancashire, County Durham, and Yorkshire & Humber regions with all they have to offer.

Job security – Job security in today’s climate can be somewhat uncertain. We pride ourselves on being able to offer diverse careers with breath and longevity, having the stability of working for large, complex organisations delivering vital public services.
Working atmosphere – We offer a good working environment at work, with professional employers. While we always provide high standards of work, it is important to us that all our employees have the right work / life balance; so you can enjoy the things in life that matter to you. We have fun at work too! We believe we do our best work when we love what we do!
Flexible working – As we deliver vital services to the general public, this brings into sharp focus the complexity of people’s lives, and the need for work and home life to complement each other. We recognise the different circumstances of our employees. We offer flexible working hours to improve the services by individuals or teams working beyond the standard day, and to help employees to balance their work and home commitments. Being 'digital by default' can enable greater flexibility around home or remote working. This connectivity can ensure that in extreme weather conditions people can safely work from home instead of risking a treacherous journey. Part-time jobs and job sharing are the norm in the public sector.
Training & Development – We are fully committed to realising the potential in all our staff. We have robust programmes of training and development to improve our employees’ knowledge and skill sets. We always encourage employees to further develop their knowledge base and up skill with additional qualifications and support them with future career opportunities. Support will be provided in terms of payment of tuition fees and time to attend formal training courses.
Generous Leave Entitlement – We recognise that our employees work hard, and it is important that they spend time with their families and therefore offer a generous leave entitlement. We also offer additional leave entitlements such as paid leave, volunteering leave, additional leave, paid leave during periods of illness and flexible leave.
Pension scheme – We offer a comprehensive pension scheme, and having a guaranteed pension scheme tied into your job is a substantial perk of working in the Public Sector.
Additional benefits/schemes – We offer a number of additional benefits/schemes, including; car lease scheme and payment of professional fees.
