Tyneside and Northumberland Mind are an anti-racist and anti-prejudice organisation. We are committed to having frank, open conversations about all forms of prejudice and discrimination, including racism. We acknowledge that racism and discrimination exist in our sector and within our organisation, but we are actively working to move our charity, our people, and our sector towards equity. We are not perfect, and we are still learning, but we vow “to do the best we can until we know better, then when we know better, we will do better” (quote adapted from Maya Angelou). 

We welcome and encourage applicants from under-represented groups; ethnically marginalised people, LGBTQIA+ people, people with physical or intellectual differences, neurodiverse people, and those with lived experience of mental ill-health. We actively use positive action to counter any potential bias in our recruitment processes. Reasonable adjustments and training will be provided to candidates who show a high level of competency but lack similar formal experience or who may require additional support to perform their best in the role. We are a ‘Disability Confident Committed’ employer and welcome applicants with diagnosed and self-identified disabilities to apply for this role. Please mention in your application if you require any reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process. This will not affect your application.
