Working at Northumbria
At Northumbria we strive to create an inclusive
environment where students and staff can work and learn
successfully together. Northumbria has a vision to
become one of the world’s leading teaching and learning
Universities and staff play a major role in this
development. We also have a strong commitment to
research and scholarly activity and offer a comprehensive
training and development programme for all employees.
We have an average income of over £200 million and
employ nearly 3000 people all of whom contribute to
Northumbria’s vision. In 2007 we opened a multi-million
pound award winning campus in the heart of the city
(below), developing our existing facilities with iconic
buildings to represent the future of the University.
This pack has been produced to help you to familiarise
yourself as a new member of staff at the University.

designated starting date. If you are
unable to do so you must notify your
manager immediately.

depending on size and location. In England,
the bands go from ‘A’ to ‘H’ with ‘A’ being the
cheapest band. The tax is calculated based
on the property’s value at April 1991 as shown
in the following table.

A Up to £40,000
B Over £40,000 AND UP TO £52,000

H Over £320,000
Charges and discounts
Basic - Your local Council sets a rate for
Council Tax based on the band.
Single person – If only one person
lives in a property they will get
a 25% discount on the bill.
Other discounts may also apply, to get further
information please contact Newcastle City
Council on +44 (0) 191 211 6660, or email
counciltax@newcastle.gov.uk or visit the

Newcastle you can find your nearest local
council by searching on www.direct.gov.uk
How to pay Council Tax
Inform your local council as soon as you move
into the property. Council Tax bills should be
sent out in April and you have the right to pay
by ten instalments. Local authorities may
accept weekly or fortnightly payments (some
may also offer a reduction in the total bill if it is
paid all at once, at the beginning of the year.)
If you do not pay an instalment of council tax
on the date it is due, your local authority must
issue a reminder, asking for payment within
seven days. If you fail to pay within this period,
you lose the right to pay by instalments and a
full year's Council Tax becomes payable. If you
don't pay this within the next seven days, your
local authority can ask the magistrates to issue
a liability order. You could be sent to prison by
the magistrate's court if you do not pay.
