Description

Would you like to work with a charitable trust that's unlike any other in the world? The International Centre for Life (or 'Life' as we're known) is a pioneering science village in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is home to researchers, clinicians, technologists and science engagement professionals who work side by side to help improve the health and well-being of people living in North East England.

At its heart is the award-winning Life Science Centre which provides a varied and exciting engagement programme for families, school children, adults, teenagers and pre-schoolers. Its aim is to inspire everyone to explore and enjoy science and to discover its relevance to their own lives. This has never been more relevant than it is today as we live in a world that's shaped increasingly by developments in science and technology.

Life Property manages and maintains the buildings and physical environment within which Life and its associated elements operate. It generates income from renting space to tenants within the Centre and from the operation of the Times Square Multi-storey car park, which has 635 spaces_._**
