The government office operating under the name "Number 10 North" in Manchester has published 50 separate job adverts as part of an expanded recruitment drive, officials say. The campaign, described in reports as a multi-million pound exercise, includes senior roles such as a post titled "rewiring the state deputy director".
The adverts, which have been made public on the office's recruitment site, set out a range of positions intended to staff the new Manchester-based operation. Organisers say the vacancies span different grades and responsibilities, though the full list of job descriptions and budgetary detail has not been released in a single summary document.
The inclusion of a role labelled "rewiring the state deputy director" has drawn particular attention because of its phrasing, which appears to signal a focus on institutional reform and systemic change within government operations. The title is among several senior appointments in the campaign that together underline the scale and ambition of the new office's staffing plans.
Officials behind Number 10 North have presented the Manchester presence as part of a broader effort to establish a permanent government footprint outside London, requiring a significant initial recruitment. Critics and commentators have previously questioned the cost and necessity of such moves, while supporters argue they can bring policy-making closer to regional communities. Further details on individual salaries, timelines for filling the posts and the precise remit of the advertised roles are expected to emerge as the recruitment process proceeds.
