Many individuals assume that the North East is an area in which there are not many job opportunities. In fact many believe that the North in general lacks any potential of finding a long and fulfilling career……. but they are mistaken. The North East is a thriving and vibrant area that is great to live and work in. It is on the up!
The North East of England is an exciting place in which to work and is well known for its plentiful jobs in the banking, accountancy and legal world. Indeed the North East and in particular Newcastle and Middlesbrough have some of the most influential and leading financial powerhouses in the North East region. Other influential cities include those of Sunderland, Stockton and Durham. In recent years the entire North East area has undergone regeneration and is enticing people to come and work in the friendly and ever growing cities.
Newcastle is by far the largest city in the North East and is the 15th largest city in the UK, in terms of financial employment opportunities. The city employs a staggering 12,300 individuals within the financial sector, with the wider financial and professional sectors employing up to 45,200 workers. As well as fantastic job opportunities, the city has excellent transport links to the wider North East area and has strong economic ties with the region’s many other businesses.
However, it is not only Newcastle that is a thriving place to work, you can also find many interesting job offers in Middlesbrough that is one of the most industrial towns in the whole country. Indeed, Middlesbrough offers exciting jobs especially within the financial and banking sectors and good opportunities suiting individuals from all educational backgrounds with diverse skills and past work experiences.

Sounds amazing – I worked in North East England for a couple of years before moving to London and I must admit I do miss the laid-back pace of life there. London can get just TOO busy sometimes.
I live nearer the east. Jobs are so hard to come by now days. I have been looking for months but nothing suitable has come by yet 🙁
I have always been under the idea that up north they don’t have that many job opportunities so this post is been an eye opener
We live in the south east so not too far from London. I must admit I’ve never been Newcastle way before.
Some great information! I live in the North West ☺️
Bet it’s a great place to live 😉
Some great information! I live in the North West ☺️
We are in the North West of England but were led to believe that the North East was lacking in jobs! I didn’t realise this wasn’t the case anymore which is great for those locally!
I’ve never been to anywhere in the UK bar London but it’s great to know that the north is just as vibrant and on the up.
I live in the South in Bournemouth, while we have lots of tourism I find the big job opportunities are either in London or the North. My company has a big head office in Leeds.
I live in the south east of England but I have to say when I visited Newcastle earlier this year I loved it – it was a vibrant place with loads going on – and lots of opportunity, as you say. I’m looking forward to my next visit!
It does sound like a fun place to live ad work 😉
I wish I did, I’d love to live/work in Newcastle I love the city xo
It does seem like a great place to live…..
I live in London but I am glad to hear that the North East is on the up and it has a great deal of jobs available.
It’s good to know that finding work isn’t as easy as we may think.
I honestly didn’t realise Newcastle was so large, I stay in Edinburgh and for it being a captail city there’s hardly any jobs I know we’re to head if I ever loose my job xxx
Let’s hope you don’t lose your job but if you are unfortunate you know where to look x
I have only visited this area a couple of times but it sounds like it is full of great opportunities.
It’s handy for those wanting to move there or move where there is more work to be aware x
I actually live in South West Wales where I guess a lot of people also think there aren’t many good job opportunities. But similarly to you, there are! 🙂
It’s interesting to hear, I think there are more job ops for people than people are aware.
It seems like a fab place to live.
Glad to hear there are so many opportunities available 🙂
I live in the north west but some great information for people in the North East. I think there are plenty of job opportunities including work from home opportunities to suit anyone.
I was born in Stockton-on-tees but sadly am living down south now
I stay in the North West and it is not great for jobs. Well not right now anywhere. Good to be self employed.
Yes I agree as I love and live in the NE!
It would be a great boost to the area and couldn’t come soon enough!
I must admit, I had assumed this was an area where people would struggle to get work. It’s so easy to have misconceptions like this
Newcastle is my favourite city – it offers so much and I’m thankful that they have kept it unspoilt.
Good to know there’s plenty of opportunity, although I live in Wales where we have far less opportunities for the jobs that we want as so many are trying to apply for the same job.
I love going up the North East for a holiday. There’s so much to see and the people are wonderful.
We used to have a B & B for workmen and I loved all my customers from up the North East. So much fun.
We are in West Yorkshire and have found jobs are hard to find
Ah some great info! I live in South Wales and there’s not really anywhere in my field of the industry for work hence why I work from home. I’m in the pop culture journo industry and London is ideally where I need to be, but need to work on my anxiety first before making the big step of moving to the big city!
Good luck Jazmin. I am sure it will be worth doing when you are ready.
This is Incredible! I wish I stayed there, I live in Scotland in the country side there are not alot of jobs going at all.
I guess it’s like everywhere – there are pluses and minuses wherever you go? One thing’s for sure it’s getting increasing harder and more expensive to find anywhere to live down south nowadays. 🙁
Sounds like it’s full of opportunities finding work is so hard I’m in that predicimate at the moment
Oh no Gemma, I hope you find something soon x
Doncaster has been in a slump, but the recent finishing off of a link road to the airport, and the construction of a huge iPort (whatever that is :)) seems to be perking things up a bit!
That’s good William, it’s a nightmare when there isn’t work available nearby x
I have friends who moved from London to the north east for work reasons and I just love living up there, they have so much more space for much less money and the biggest garden I think I have ever seen!
I’ve never been to the North or Newcastle but would like to visit.
I live in the East Midlands, but I’d love the opportunity to move at some point- as i’ve lived in the same town my whole life!
It looks good but I live in the southwest!
I’ve not looked up that area x
I have found that being in my 50’s is a real hindrance in finding any employment in the NE and probably everywhere in the UK. Tip don’t move and give up your job.
i have never been there, sounds great though
I live no where near as I’m right down in the South East – it’s good to hear that there are more opportunity in this area.
