Development body creates jobs to boost growth plan

A development organisation is creating jobs as it rolls out a growth blueprint.

Advance Northumberland is recruiting for a number of roles.

Officials say the posts – which include site management, quantity surveying and joinery positions – will help drive a five-year business plan.

They add the roles span multiple parts of the business, including its housing development arm Ascent Homes and wider asset and maintenance operations.

Steven Harrison, chief executive of Advance Northumberland, which operates as the development arm of Northumberland County Council, said: “We are committed to driving inclusive economic growth through a broad range of development initiatives.

“Our strategy focuses on delivering real impact, not only in South East Northumberland but across the entire county, from Berwick to Rothbury and across to Haltwhistle. 

“This recruitment round reflects our confidence in the county’s future and our ongoing commitment to creating good-quality employment for local people.” 

Further roles cover ecology, commercial management, administration and maintenance scheduling.
