1. Introduction
This report is an update on the characteristics of job vacancies within Tees
Valley covering the period January 2017 – December 2017 (inclusive). Tees
Valley covers the five local authority districts of Darlington, Hartlepool,
Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees.
The data used is drawn from the commercial ‘Labour Insight Jobs (Burning
Glass Technologies) product. This searches the internet for job adverts.
Consequently only jobs advertised via the internet will be included in this report.
Occupations are defined by the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification
(SOC) system. TVCA Key Sectors definitions based on the 2007 Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) system can be found in Appendix A.
Numbers are not comparable with previous reports due to revisions in the
methodology used by Labour Insight to classify vacancies.
The level of representation of job vacancies advertised on the web is open to
question as there may be variations in mode of recruitment by sector and size of
business.
An increase in job vacancies may be an indication of new job creation,
skills shortage vacancies or high staff turnover.

16,750 Tees Valley residents were unemployed1 in 2017 with 2 jobs
advertised for every unemployed person, this compares to 12 jobs per
unemployed person nationally.
There has been a 4% rise in job vacancies when compared to 2016 (1,403
extra vacancies), in comparison to an 11% increase nationally and a 13%
increase across the North of England2.
The largest number of job vacancies in Tees Valley in 2017 were for Caring
Personal Service occupations with 3,518 job vacancies, followed by
Science, Research, Engineering and Technology Professionals3 with

This is followed by a 23% rise in vacancies for Business, Media and Public

vacancies with 30% of all vacancies (5,816 vacancies) followed by Public

This large percentage of job vacancies available for public sector jobs
reflects the larger than average public sector employment within Tees
Valley, with latest figures from ONS showing that 25% of all employment
within Tees Valley is public sector, compared to 21% nationally.
