Are you dedicated to upholding standards?
Are you committed to promoting diversity in public appointments?
Do you have experience of senior-level board appointments?
The Greater London Authority is looking for a number of people
to act as independent panel members to support Mayoral board appointments.
The Mayor of London makes a wide range of appointments to
statutory boards, functional bodies, advisory commissions and other
positions. These are key appointments to boards whose
decisions touch the lives of people across London. Some of these
appointments involve the use of an independent panel member, known as the
‘Independent Element’ to ensure the process is fair, open and transparent.
We are now looking to expand our pool of people we deploy as the ‘Independent Element’ to establish a representative and talented team. London’s diversity is its biggest asset, and the Mayor has made clear his commitment to recruit and appoint to boards in a way that better reflects London’s diversity. Our independent panel members must champion inclusive and diverse boards and be passionate about promoting diversity in public appointments.
We are seeking suitably qualified individuals who have
senior experience of high-profile public-sector
organisations or public appointments at executive / senior management level,
and can operate in a complex political environment, upholding standards and
providing sound independent judgement.
We welcome
applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual
orientation, faith or disability.
