Who We Are And What We Stand For
Do you want to help make Gateshead a place where everyone thrives? If that sounds like you, keep reading – we might just be the perfect match.
We’re delighted that you’re interested in working with us. You’d be joining us at a very exciting time.
We pride ourselves on our ambitious and forward-thinking approach to taking care of Gateshead and its people, and we passionately believe that our employees reflect that spirit in truly enabling Gateshead to thrive.
At Gateshead Council you’d be a highly valued member of a team that recognises and respects the skills that you bring to your role, encourages creativity and passionately advocates a great work / life balance. Our actions speak louder than words, and with flexi-time and hybrid working available across many of our roles, as well as a full suite of outstanding employee benefits, we’re confident that it isn’t just the salary that attracts our staff.
Be the calm voice in a moment of crisis.
Adult Social Care at Gateshead Council supports adults with care and support needs to live safe, independent and thriving lives. The service provides statutory assessments, safeguarding, prevention, and a wide range of community-based support in line with the Care Act 2014. Working in a strengths-based way, Adult Social Care focuses on wellbeing, independence and personalised outcomes, helping people to access the right support at the right time, whether through assessment and planning, enablement services, technology-enabled care, or wider community resources.
When emergencies happen, you’re the difference.
As a Care Call Assistant, you’ll play a vital role in keeping people safe, supported, and connected when they need it most. You’ll be the reassuring voice on the line during emergencies and a compassionate presence out in the community, responding to alerts, supporting vulnerable residents, and helping people live independently through the use of assistive technology. From handling urgent outofhours calls for the Council to responding in person to client falls and equipment alerts, no two days are the same. If you’re calm under pressure, caring by nature, and looking for a role where your work genuinely matters, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
