Our Chief Executive Paul Court joined the organisation in October 2019.
He has worked at a senior level across the NHS and Newcastle City Council, shaping policy and practice to improve outcomes for children and young people. Previously, Paul has developed and led Sure Start Services, been a researcher influencing national policy, and NHS board member, and a committee member for BBC Children in Need.
Paul brings a lot of experience to the role and is enjoying the challenge.
“I am delighted to be leading the organisation that I supported the development and formation of over 20 years ago. I truly believe in its vision of enabling and supporting communities across Tyne and Wear to narrow the gap in health inequalities.
Joel Marks, Chair of Trustees, said:
“I am delighted that Paul is joining Healthworks as we head towards our 25th anniversary, when his experience and enthusiasm will be so important to the next stage in our work.”
Paul is supported by an experienced team of Directors.
