Newcastle Theatre Royal is one of the best loved and most recognised large scale, regional theatres in the UK creating moments of magic both on and off-stage. Our iconic Grade I listed building sits in the heart of Newcastle city centre and presents a diverse programme showcasing world class musicals, dance, opera and drama as well as our annual show-stopping pantomime, entertaining people of all ages from across the region.

We seek new Trustees to join our board – individuals who bring skills and lived experience to broaden the range of voices and perspectives in our leadership. We are looking to appoint a number of Trustees across a range of skill sets to complement the make up of our current board members, but in this round of recruitment, we are specifically looking for trustees with experience in:
- HR and overseeing People & Culture Strategies
- Creative, artistic or engagement experience in large scale cultural venues
- Catering and retail
- Capital Projects and Fundraising (related to listed buildings or cultural venues)
This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference and support our aim to be a theatre for everyone. We encourage and welcome interest from candidates who will bring different lived experiences and perspectives to the Trust.

Join our Board and help make it possible for people with myeloma to live longer and better lives.
Who we are
At Myeloma UK, we are making it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. As the only UK charity focused exclusively on myeloma and related conditions, we have transformed treatment and care over the past 27 years, helping to quadruple life expectancy for many patients. But we need to go further, faster – because people with myeloma can’t wait. We are uniquely placed as an organisation to improve the lives of people affected by myeloma by investing in innovative, life-changing research, advocating for patients to get access to new treatments on the NHS, and providing free information and support services to patients and their families.
About the role
As Treasurer, you’ll play a crucial role in leading Myeloma UK into the next stage of our development, providing strategic financial leadership during an exciting period of growth and change.
You’ll lead the Board’s duty to ensure financial resources are controlled, invested and economically spent while advising on the financial and risk management implications of our strategic plans.
Working closely with our Chair, Board and executive team, you’ll take an active role in our governance structure, including chairing the Finance and Audit Committee. You’ll build an effective relationship with our CEO and Director of Finance, providing both challenge and support as we pursue our ambitious goals.
Who we are looking for
Ideally, you will bring substantial experience in commercial and financial management at a senior, strategic level, either as a finance professional or a senior business leader with financial expertise. You’ll have experience chairing meetings and an excellent understanding of best practices in governance. Your personal and professional credibility will command confidence with the Board and stakeholders.
We’re looking for a clear and independent thinker with sound judgment and an appropriate approach to risk. Your excellent influencing and negotiation skills will be complemented by your solution-focused mindset and ability to see the big picture while remaining pragmatic. As an intellectually curious individual, you’ll be comfortable navigating complexity while building strong relationships through your high emotional and cultural intelligence.
Experience of serving on the executive leadership team of a growing organisation would be valuable, as would prior experience as a charity trustee. An appreciation of the wider health, social and political landscape, along with knowledge of charity fundraising practices, would be advantageous. There is no requirement to have a connection to Myeloma.
Most importantly, you’ll be collaborative and highly inclusive, fostering trust and valuing different perspectives. You’ll know when to challenge constructively, when to hold back, and when to support while demonstrating an unwavering commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

This Role Turns Data Into Action, Not Just Numbers
At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., content is created at scale by hundreds of volunteers. But content without insight is wasted effort.
The Social Media Analysis & Insights Officer ensures that every post, video clip, podcast snippet, or visual asset has measurable impact. You are the intelligence engine, translating raw platform data into actionable strategies for growth, engagement, and community trust.
This role is not about vanity metrics. It is about understanding what works, what resonates, and what drives meaningful action.
Purpose of the Role
The purpose of this role is to:
- Measure, track, and interpret performance across all CIC platforms
- Identify content that drives donor growth, volunteer mobilisation, VFAP recruitment, and community engagement
- Provide actionable insight to content creators, campaign managers, and the Social Media Director
- Highlight trends, risks, and opportunities at platform and borough-level
- Ensure data-informed decisions guide strategy without sacrificing values or ethics
You transform analytics into intelligence that shapes action.
Experience Qualification and Requirements
Essential experience
- Experience in social media analytics across one or more platforms (TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn).
- Experience building dashboards and visual reporting (e.g., Looker Studio/Google Data Studio, Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent).
- Experience using Excel or Google Sheets for analysis, including KPI tracking, trend analysis, and data cleaning.
- Experience measuring and reporting KPIs for digital content or campaigns, including performance interpretation and recommendations.
- Experience turning data into actionable insights (not just reporting numbers) and communicating them clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Essential skills
- Strong analytical thinking with ability to identify patterns, test assumptions, and avoid over-reliance on vanity metrics.
- Ability to connect performance signals to outcomes (donations, volunteer actions, trust indicators) and explain correlation limits responsibly.
- Strong data visualisation and storytelling skills: clear dashboards, concise summaries, and practical “what to do next” outputs.
- High attention to detail and consistency in KPI definitions, reporting cadence, and data integrity.
- Ability to work collaboratively with director, campaign, content, engagement, and systems teams to improve performance loops.
- Self-management, reliability, and accountability in a fast-moving build phase with evolving priorities.
Desirable
- Experience with non-profit or community impact measurement, including engagement quality and trust signals.
- Experience with trend research, audience insight, and experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, creative testing).
- Familiarity with tracking ambassador/community distribution and localised (“borough-level”) engagement patterns.
Formal qualifications
-
Formal qualifications are not required; equivalent practical experience is highly valued.
Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
- Build and maintain performance dashboards that track platform, campaign, and community-level outcomes across TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
- Analyse correlations between content performance and organisational outcomes, including content-to-donation, content-to-volunteer mobilisation, and content-to-engagement/retention signals.
- Track ambassador adoption of approved content, including what gets used, where it performs best, and what barriers reduce uptake (format, clarity, timing, relevance).
- Identify high-performing formats, topics, hooks, CTAs, posting patterns, and creators, and translate these into repeatable insights the team can action quickly.
- Generate insights at multiple levels: platform-specific performance, campaign-level learning, and borough/community-specific engagement patterns to support localised messaging.
- Feed intelligence consistently to the Social Media Director, Campaign Manager, Content Creators, and Engagement Officers to improve strategy, production priorities, and community responses.
- Recommend practical action plans to scale what works (replicate formats, expand reach, optimise distribution) and address underperforming content (iterate creative, adjust targeting, refine CTA).
- Maintain clear records for reporting and transparency, ensuring insight outputs are traceable, consistent, and suitable for internal review and governance.
- Support development of KPI frameworks and reporting standards, including definitions, measurement rules, cadence, and ownership, so the C.I.C can scale analysis without confusion.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by testing hypotheses, monitoring trends, and flagging risks (e.g., vanity metrics, misleading interpretations, safeguarding-sensitive performance patterns).
This role is not suitable if you:
- Prefer to work without data
- Seek surface-level social media metrics
- Are uncomfortable making recommendations that influence strategy
- Want purely creative or posting roles
- Expect immediate paid employment
Important to Be Clear
This is:
- A volunteer role during the build phase
- A position of real strategic influence
- Not symbolic; your work directly shapes the CIC’s growth and impact
Paid roles will be introduced as funding and sustainability allow.
Next Steps
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:
- A values and ethics conversation
- A practical discussion about data, reporting, and actionable insight
If you believe data is a tool for community transformation, and that impact is more important than vanity metrics, this role is for you.
A Final Word
Data is about people, not numbers.
If you know that:
Trust is built through accuracy and accountability
Context matters more than vanity metrics
Insight carries ethical responsibility

Inclusive Boards is delighted to support Bowel Cancer UK in their search to appoint three new Trustees.
Bowel Cancer UK is the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity. They support and fund targeted research, provide expert information and support to patients and their families, educate the public and professionals about the disease, and campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care.
Bowel Cancer UK is entering a defining period for the charity. Their strategy places bold focus on early diagnosis, improved treatment and care, accelerating research, and ensuring that every voice—especially those less often heard—shapes their direction.
About the Trustee opportunities:
We are seeking three talented and committed Trustees with a particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Professional healthcare (not only medics) with experience in research and caring for bowel cancer patients
- Fundraising / income generation
The charity is also keen for the Board to reflect more fully the UK-wide nature of their role and work, noting particularly that they don’t currently have a Board Member from Wales, as well as groups disproportionately affected by bowel cancer. For example, research shows that:
- Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with bowel cancer in an emergency setting. These are often at a later stage, when bowel cancer is harder to treat.
- Black people are more likely than white people to be diagnosed in an emergency setting, when bowel cancer is harder to treat.
- People from ethnic minority groups have a lower participation rate in the bowel cancer screening programme than white people.
Bowel Cancer UK is committed to widening the diversity of the Board to reflect a broad and inclusive range of backgrounds and skills, and would welcome applicants who reflect the diverse communities that they serve.

Do you believe everyone should have the chance to connect with nature and experience the beauty of the Peak District?
Then come and join this small, but mighty charity board as a Trustee, to help protect the Peak District for future generations. We're particularly keen to connect with people who can bring their commercial expertise and acumen to the Board.
Location: Hybrid between Peak District/Bakewell HQ* and online
*Possibly Manchester/Sheffield depending on most accessible locations
Time Commitment: Approx. 4 Board meetings + 1 strategy day per year
Term: 3 years initially, renewable thereafter
Renumeration: Voluntary, with reasonable expenses covered
The Peak District National Park Foundation is a growing charity with a big bold mission: to make the Peak District a thriving home for nature and people. A place which is welcoming to all and cared for by everyone.
Since launching in 2019, they've successfully raised over £2.2 million to make the Park greener, wilder and more accessible. Connecting thousands of young people to nature, restoring rare habitats and helping communities discover the power of the outdoors.
Nature loss, climate change and unequal access to the countryside are urgent challenges. At the same time, public funding for National Parks has fallen dramatically. That's where this vital work comes in - and where you could too.
About the role
As a Trustee, you'll help shape the Foundation's next chapter. You'll guide strategy, champion the mission and ensure they're delivering lasting impact for nature and people. You'll join a passionate, collaborative Board, supporting a nimble, high-performing team that's already making a big difference on the ground.
You don't need prior trustee experience - what matters most is your enthusiasm, curiosity and belief in the power of nature to connect and inspire. You'll receive a full induction and training.
Who we're looking for
Having just been through a successful round of Board recruitment, we're confident we now have robust representation from the charity and public sector, and are now looking for commercial and business skills to strengthen the Board's make-up.
A deep love or connection to the Peak District is desirable, but not essential - you may simply have a strong passion to see our natural spaces protected for generations to come.
Who should apply?
We're very happy to consider applications from those living outside the Park who can demonstrate their passion for protecting it (providing you're comfortable attending some Board meetings in-person, with expenses paid).
We also want to emphasise that candidates from all backgrounds are warmly encouraged to apply - in particular, Black, Asian, and global majority candidates, disabled people, those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, younger candidates (under 40) and first-time trustees.
We're looking for individuals who will culturally add to the organisation, rather than simply fit an existing mould.
Why apply
This is your opportunity to share your time and expertise to make a meaningful impact on one of the UK's most iconic landscapes. Serving as a Trustee is a powerful way to show your support and help shape its future.
How to apply
A short CV or profile is a great first step, but please also feel free to get in touch to receive a copy of the recruitment pack or an informal conversation. Our Regional Director, Amelia Lee, is leading on this opportunity.
Deadline: 9am on Friday 5th February, but please do get in touch ASAP if interested as we'd love to start conversations as soon as possible.
