Trustee of the Executive Committee

We are looking to recruit more dedicated Trustees from all walks of life and work experiences to become a member of the executive committee to help steer IANE forward.

IANE values diversity and welcomes any members of the public who are interested in furthering the aims of IANE, to join our board. It is important that a Trustee is able to devote the necessary time, have strategic vision, an understanding of advocacy, an ability to think creatively and a willingness to speak their mind. Board meetings are held early evening, usually every two months at the IANE offices, at the Linskill Centre.

What skills do I need?

We are particularly keen to recruit members of the local community in North Tyneside who have skills and experience in one or more of the following areas: People with real life experiences of physical disability, learning disability, mental health issues, people from Black and Minority Ethnic communities and vulnerable older people; We are looking for someone who can dedicate time and commitment to the role of Trustee and be available to attend board meetings/AGM/training. An interest in IT and social media. To occasionally support IANE with fund raising. Experience of being part of a Board is not essential.
