Residents across the North East are being invited to explore career openings within North Tyneside's expanding engineering, offshore, and green industries at a dedicated employment fair next month.

Named Jobs on the Tyne, the event will be held at Wallsend Library on 5 June. It aims to connect jobseekers with prominent businesses operating along the River Tyne, a region that is rapidly growing into a key hub for green technology, engineering, and offshore activity.

Karen Clark, Elected Mayor of North Tyneside, said: "I'm really excited about the opportunities green jobs are bringing to our borough. It's creating good jobs, stronger communities, and better lives for local families.

"The River Tyne is becoming a hub for offshore, engineering, and green technology and it is growing quickly.
