Further Information
Northumberland County Council declared a Climate Emergency in 2019. Since then, we have been busy identifying and delivering projects that attract investment to the county, create new jobs for the green economy and reduce our carbon footprint.

We have set out details of the projects we need to deliver in the next two years and a route to achieving net zero by 2030 in our most recent Climate Change Action Plan (www.northumberland.gov.uk/climateactionplan).

We are recruiting summer interns on a 6-8 week placement, to work on a number of exciting projects for us, which will contribute to our climate change goals.

If you enjoy solving complex problems and working with people to change perceptions and want to work towards making Northumberland the greenest county in the UK, then we would love to meet you.

We are interested in applications from people from all backgrounds and are especially interested in applications from a diverse range of individuals.

These roles will appeal to current undergraduates, recent graduates, or school leavers. Previous experience of working as part of a climate change project team and / or in the public sector is not a requirement for any of these posts.

In order to apply, please download the attached application form and return via email to temporarystaffing@northumberland.gov.uk

The Staff Bank is managed by the Temporary Staffing Team, who you can contact via temporarystaffing@northumberland.gov.uk. You will be subject to Northumberland County Council's pre-employment checking process which includes a minimum of 2 references covering the past 3 years, health clearance and proof of right to work in the UK and depending on the assignment you may be required to undertake a DBS check.
