Investor in People

Northumberland National Park Authority takes staff development very seriously and training needs are generated primarily through the appraisal process. We were the first English National Park Authority to gain the Investor In People award and this has been retained for well over ten years.

Work/Life Balance

The National Park Authority is committed to optimising individual and organisational effectiveness by helping staff gain a satisfactory balance between the demands of work and other aspects of their life. We encourage flexible working, such as homeworking and annualised hours where positive benefits for the individual, their team and the organisation can be identified.
