Speaking after the Treasury announcement earlier this year, Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: "It’s fantastic to see that, just a few short weeks after the Chancellor announced plans to move hundreds of Treasury staff to the heart of Darlington, the first of many good-quality, well-paid jobs is up for grabs.
“This is only the start, with many more roles to come in the future, and I’d urge people across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool to check them out when they’re advertised.
"That way, not only will our local priorities be put front-and-centre for Government, it’ll be local people helping to drive the change we want to see for our region and the rest of the UK."
