Trustees with HR or digital experience

What will you be doing?

Established in 1994, North Tyneside Carers’ Centre is the only generic carer support service in the borough of North Tyneside providing support to young and adult carers. Carers are represented at every level of the organisation and we deliver a wide range of interventions to help carers maintain their wellbeing and have a life outside of caring.  

At the start of the pandemic 3,500 unpaid carers were registered with the service, at the end of the pandemic this had increased to over 8,000. Faced with increased demand and complexity of cases, we have to adapt to the changing environment to continue to meet the needs of carers.

Funding landscape changes, including the Integrated Care Board and North East Mayoral Strategic Authority Authority present both challenges and opportunities for the organisation. Regional opportunities for working with other carers support services are increasing, which require collaboration across a number of carer organisations.

We are 1 year into our 5 year strategy cycle, which sets out clear priorities and goals. We are looking for two new trustees to play an important role in overseeing the governance of the organisation and driving our strategic plan. We are seeking trustees with a background in HR and digital solutions.

We want to hear from anyone interested, who has the skills and experience to help us deliver our priorities. 

What are we looking for?

We are looking for trustees with the following main areas of expertise:

• Human Resources
• Digital Solutions 

What difference will you make?

As part of our board you will offer your unique skill set to help drive the delivery of our strategic plan, as well as helping us achieve our purpose ‘To improve the quality of life of carers in North Tyneside.’

These are vital roles, helping ensure we continue our support for the increasing number of carers accessing our services.

Join us to help make a difference to the lives of carers – including young carers from the age of 5 years, living in North Tyneside.
