YVC has enjoyed growth of 56% since 2020. As the size of our organisation has increased so have our ambitions to create a sector-leading governance structure. We think that now is the right moment for us to appoint an Executive Assistant to keep the work of our Board and CEO on track.
YVC has an innovative approach to governance. Underpinning everything we do is a belief that people with lived experience of services are best placed to design the solutions that meet their needs. This extends to our Board where we have a number of people who have used our services, including people with learning disabilities, as active members of the Board.
Your Voice Counts is based in the North East of England and you’ll be required to attend meetings at our offices in Gateshead, Newcastle and South Tyneside and there is also the opportunity for some working from home.

1. Ensure that YVC values are embedded to strengthen the organisational culture.
2. Manage the diversity, equality, and inclusion values and practices within the organisation.
3. Drive alignment between HR strategy and organisational practice. Develop and manage HR policy and procedures to drive performance and improve employee experience.
4. Support change management processes, including managing TUPE processes. Develop the organisational structure to support future growth, using best practice principles.
5. Manage all core HR areas, including, employment legislation compliance, employee relations such as disciplinaries, grievances and absence.
6. Ensuring our HR system is fit for purpose and enables the production of useful people metrics.
7. Lead on all aspects of employee lifecycle such as:
- Manage talent and succession planning.
- Work with managers to proactively identify staffing needs across the organisation and manage the creation of job descriptions and handbooks.
