https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/news/latest-news/863-join-our-board-volunteers-wanted?At Northern we have ambitious plans that will transform our company and help our region to be a great place to live and work. Innovation - improving and changing what we do and how we do it - underpins this transformation. A new Innovation Board has been set up to lead this and we are passionate about ensuring that our customers have a voice on this. One way we will deliver this is by recruiting a customer advocate and we're inviting interested individuals to apply.
As an Innovation Board member you will represent the wider Northern customer community. In particular you will bring a fresh perspective to challenge, inform and support the Board's decision making process, knowledge development and problem solving.
Ideal attributes we're looking for include:
- open-minded and curious
- prepared to listen to others, entertain conflicting viewpoints and use these to develop new ideas
- regular traveller on the rail network in the north of England
- willing to attend four half day Board meetings a year at different venues in the North of England - this is an honorary position, but reasonable travel expenses will be paid
- the next meeting is scheduled for the afternoon of 5th September in York. You should be available for that meeting to be considered for this position
- prepared to talk (formally or informally) to other rail travellers, ask them for feedback and ideas
