Newcastle Upon Tyne Jobs UK

The most populous city in the North-East, Newcastle upon Tyne is a thoroughly modern city of commerce, education, and culture. Its history spans centuries, from its establishment under the Roman rule around 2nd century AD, through medieval times when it received its name (stemming from a castle built by William the Conqueror's son), early modern period when it was the centre of wool trade, coal mining, to the modern period and industrial revolution when it became an important port, shipbuilding location and a repair centre. Nowadays the city has a thoroughly modern economy with Sage Group or Greggs being headquartered in town; famed for its nightlife, Newcastle has a bustling hospitality sector. All these factors make it a particularly good location for starting your search for graduate jobs.
The whole area of Tyneside is in the top 15% best places to live in the UK according to Uswitch--that is no coincidence. Newcastle can boast high safety ratings, and very good scores in healthcare, climate, and property price to income ratio indexes. The last stat is particularly important to fresh graduates, as it means that once they have a lucrative graduate job they are more likely than their counterparts in other areas of the UK to afford their own house quicker. Before that, though, renting is the viable option; tenants moving into properties in Newcastle will be pleased to hear that the rental costs are 65.5% lower than in London, while the costs of goods and services is ca. 24% lower than in the capital. This makes Newcastle a very welcoming destination for fresh alumni, making their transition into full-time work and responsible adulthood gentler and easier than it might have been in the south.
