Platform and Environment Manger

Our vision is for safe and effective nursing and midwifery practice across the four countries of the UK – regulated and supported by the NMC – a fit for the future organisation, with fairness and equity at the heart of everything we do.
 

Our role is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions. As the largest independent regulator in Europe of more than 860,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have a crucial role in making this a reality.
 

We do this by setting and promoting high education and professional standards for all future and registered nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England.
 

We also ensure every nurse, midwife and nursing associate on our Register meets clear standards of conduct and practice which protects the public and the reputation of our professions. 
 

We have a duty to investigate concerns and to take steps to protect the public in the relatively rare instances where we need to limit or restrict a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s right to practise.  
 

We are building a new NMC with integrity, fairness, respect, equity and effectiveness at its core.  
 

We are determined to improve and modernise our culture and ways of working. This will ensure that the public and professionals feel confident in our work.

The Diocese of Newcastle is seeking a Community Missioner for St Michael's Byker.

Excited by the idea of being church in a different way? Looking to serve the mission of God in a distinctive location? Want to be at the heart of a unique partnership with a brand new £4m Youth and Community hub and revamped church building? Are you called to serve St Michael’s Parish in the middle of the iconic Byker Estate in Newcastle upon Tyne?

The Bishop of Newcastle is seeking to appoint a full-time Community Missioner (initial funding for five years) in the parish of Byker St Michael’s. This is an opportunity for an energetic, strategic and creative person to enable the church in this vibrant North East community to grow even younger and more outward in mission, to recognise and celebrate where God is already at work, and to work with the Spirit in order to grow faith and build community in new ways.

This new full-time post has been created in order to resource a parish in mission at a critical moment in its history. As the new City Council funded Youth and Community hub opens, and gets established, there is a unique opportunity for the church to partner in this development, building on the innovative mission and ministry in Byker over the last twenty years. There is a brand-new Youth space and the church building has been completely re-developed with sustainability and flexibility at the heart of a beautiful new design.

Collaborative working with clergy and lay leaders across the five Byker and Walker parishes has been the norm for many years as part of MINE: Mission Initiative Newcastle East, and along with the Lighthouse project and initiatives such as MINE Youth and the partnership with Eden in Byker. This post will be supported more widely by the diocesan Mission and Ministry Team and the Organising for Growth programme from The Centre for Theology and Community.

Assistant Clerk to the Trustees

Job details

Contract hours: 14
Basis: Part time
Salary: £9,900 per annum
Location: Uppingham School
Closing date: 13 February 2026, 11:59 pm

Description

This newly created, part-time role supporting the governance of Uppingham School, is well suited to someone who enjoys applying senior-level governance or board experience in a focused, thoughtful way. Working closely with the Bursar and Clerk to the Trustees, you will become a trusted part of the governance function, supporting the School’s Trustees in carrying out their responsibilities with clarity and confidence.

Your work will centre on preparing and supporting Trustee and Committee meetings, handling agendas and papers with care, and producing clear, accurate minutes that form the formal record of decisions and discussion. The quality of this work matters. It is relied upon by Trustees and senior leaders and plays a meaningful role in the long-term stewardship of the School.

Although the role is part-time and term-time only, it carries senior responsibility and a high level of professional trust. You will work within a small, collegiate governance team where expectations are clear, meetings are planned well in advance, and your judgement and experience are respected. The role offers autonomy, balance and purpose, alongside the satisfaction of contributing quietly but significantly to the life and leadership of Uppingham School.

About you

You will have experience supporting boards, trustees or senior committees and will be comfortable working with discretion, sound judgement and accuracy. Good governance matters, as does producing clear, well-judged minutes that capture decisions and key discussion.

The role may suit someone seeking term-time or reduced-hours work after a full-time career, returning to work after a break, or combining this post with other professional commitments. An appreciation of education, professionalism and Uppingham School’s values will matter as much as technical experience.

Working hours

The role is estimated to require two days per week on average during term-time (32 weeks per year), amounting to approximately fourteen hours per week, or approximately 448 hours per year.

These hours are inclusive of Saturday morning Trustee meetings. No work is required during School holidays.

Closing date: 13 February 2026

Please note that we reserve the right to close this vacancy early once we have received an adequate number of applications.

Uppingham School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Minimum 21.5 hours per week (option to increase)
£12.21 per hour
Based in Hartlepool

Families First North East is growing and we’re looking for people who believe in the power of joy, creativity, and compassion to change lives.

Every day, our team supports children and young people with additional needs, learning disabilities, and autism to thrive, explore, and feel truly valued. Whether it’s in our vibrant afterschool club, our fun-filled holiday provision, or out in the community on a 1‑to‑1 basis, we create moments that matter. If that excites you, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

Who We’re Looking For
We want someone who brings energy, imagination, and heart into everything they do. Someone who can spark laughter, build confidence, and help young people experience the world in ways that feel safe, empowering, and fun.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to make a real difference every single day, we’d love to meet you.

Ideally, you’ll have experience supporting children or young people with additional needs — but above all, we’re looking for passion, positivity, and a willingness to learn.

The Role
You’ll be supporting a small number of specific young people across the week, so flexibility is essential. The hours currently required are:
- Monday: 8am – 12 noon
- Tuesday: 8am – 9am
- Thursday: 8am – 11am
- Friday: 8am – 11am
- Saturday: 3.5 hours (time to be confirmed)
- Plus 7 hours (afterschool times, day varies)

This role involves driving, so you must hold a full UK driving licence.

Applicants must also have the Right to Work in the UK, as we cannot provide Certificates of Sponsorship.

Training will be provided where needed — we simply ask for someone who learns quickly, shows initiative, and is eager to grow.

Why Join Families First North East?

• Because what we do matters.
• Because the young people we support deserve the very best.
• And because you’ll be joining a team that genuinely cares — about the work, about each other, and about the community we serve.

We were recently featured on BBC Children in Need, a testament to the impact of our work. You can watch the broadcast on our Facebook page by searching “Families First North East”.

How to Apply
Please read all information carefully.

Applications must be submitted using the online application form below - we do not accept CVs.

Deadline: 11am on Friday 6 February 2026.
