Community Stadium

The Council are offering salaries of around £35,000 each for 3 managers who will supervise the procurement of the new Community Stadium at Monks Cross.

The Council is only advertising the posts internally at present rather than on their jobs web site*

The stadium now has planning permission but it is likely that the Council will try to let a design/build/manage contract which could mean that the building will not be ready for use until 2016.

The stadium will provide a home for the City’s Football and Rugby League clubs.

*NB. The Council’s job site rather famously now features job descriptions translated into Turkish, Polish and Chinese. A “welcome to York” video also features a Council official who left the Authority over 6 months ago.
