Newcastle City Council runs the city's Housing Advice Centre and Emergency Homeless Service, providing statutory homelessness assessment, prevention advice and emergency accommodation for residents of Newcastle upon Tyne who are homeless or at risk of losing their home.

Services and teams

The council's housing service covers homelessness prevention and options advice, temporary and emergency accommodation placement, a severe weather emergency protocol for rough sleepers during cold weather, and guidance and referral pathways for professionals and voluntary organisations supporting people at risk of homelessness. The service works alongside the council's wider housing management, private sector housing standards and adult social care teams.

Working at Newcastle

Newcastle City Council employs several thousand staff across the city's services, recruiting through its own careers site and the shared North East Jobs portal used by councils and public bodies across the North East. Housing and homelessness roles sit alongside the council's wider portfolio of children's services, adult social care, environment and corporate vacancies.

About the city

As a large core city council, Newcastle balances a substantial statutory homelessness caseload with a strategic focus on prevention, working with registered housing providers, health services and the voluntary sector to reduce rough sleeping and support residents into settled accommodation across Tyneside.
