For those with ongoing applications, you might want to check your profile on NR careers portal to make sure it is all still up to date. I noticed I did not receive the new jobs email alert I usually get once a week (for the last couple of weeks). Just checked the portal and my email address and...

Likely to be similar to the North East future opportunities campaigns that have run over the past 6+ months They go through the whole recruitment process from open day to offering grade 2, 12 month fixed term contracts to those who are successful. After signalling school and before the end of...
