North Tyneside Carers' Centre are looking for new trustees as we commence our new 5 year strategic cycle to improve the quality of life of unpaid carers in North Tyneside.
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.’ This is a vital role, helping ensure we can 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.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for trustees with the following main areas of expertise lived experience as an unpaid carer, we are particularly looking for young adult carers and working age carers to join our Board. Marketing and communications. Adult social care.
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 7,000. 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 (ICB) and North East Combined Authority (NECA) present both challenges and opportunities for the organisation. As the ICB looks to make 30% savings, new regional opportunities are arising with NECA, which require collaboration across a number of carer organisations. We are excited as we commence our new 5 year strategic cycle, which sets out clear priorities and goals. We are looking for new trustees to play an important role in overseeing the governance of the organisation and driving our strategic plan. We want to hear from anyone interested, who has the skills and experience to help us deliver our priorities.
