Principal Advisor Climate Change

Newcastle is a city fast gaining a reputation for its innovation and progress. The heartbeat of the nation’s green revolution and the subject of growing international investment. Newcastle is amid a social housing revolution with the city council set to take back control of its housing stock for the first time in two decades. This is a city of ideas, innovation and progress where every single person who lives, works and visits can help contribute to their success. It is an exciting time for the Newcastle city region and now two career-defining strategic roles have emerged for those who want to be part of it. Are you ready to be a part of it?

Newcastle has gained global recognition for its innovative approaches to tackling the climate crisis while also investing in a thriving green economy across the city. The city council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and achieving net zero is one of the administration’s three strategic priorities. As our principal adviser you will work closely with the Cabinet Member for Connected, Clean City to shape the council’s strategy for net zero, to enable and drive its delivery, and to work with partners in the city and beyond to keep Newcastle at the forefront of best practice.
