Director roles – North of Tyne Combined Authority

It’s a time of potential in the North East, and certainly for the three authorities north of the Tyne river. North Tyneside, Northumberland and Newcastle City councils have come together to form NoTCA with a principal aim to improve the prosperity and lives of all those who live in the area. The election of the area’s first Mayor means the organisation can now push on with a focus on inclusive economic growth and wider prosperity. With devolved powers and associated funding the combined authority can support business, skills, education and investment whilst also have an input into housing, transport and sustainable growth through green initiatives. There has been an interim team so far but now a permanent team is to be recruited. Initially we will be looking for a Director of Economic Growth to deliver programmes, and the Chief Executive’s key support, the Director of Policy and Performance. The Chief Executive role will also be recruited to on a different timeline. Information can be found in the Roles section – simply hover over “Roles” (top right in the menu at the top of this page) and look for the drop down menu.

Trussell Trust – Foodbank charity donation

Each year with support from our clients, contacts and colleagues we donate to a chosen charity. In the past this has been to small charities which have less profile yet great need and whose work strikes a chord with us due to our own personal stories. In the past this has been Women’s Aid, Pancreatic Cancer, Alzheimer’s Research UK and more recently Foodbanks. This year we wanted to donate again to the Foodbank as a vital service, run by volunteers and because there is (unfortunately) one in every town, we can target our own communities. Mark is from Leeds and our main office is in Manchester so both have received funds directly – we used to do a big shop but struggled to get everything in the car and deliver it to the distribution centre in York in previous years! We are pleased to see even greater integration of other health and care community services to better support those in crisis as the centres evolve as hubs.
