Board Chair Appointment: Zero Waste Scotland

3 months ago

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Scottish Government Full time

Overview:
Zero Waste Scotland is Scotland's circular economy expert.

Over the next decade, it will play a pivotal role in catalysing and inspiring much needed transformation in our economy and society; where resources are valued to their maximum extent, and where new market opportunities are opened up in Scotland as a result.


Zero Waste Scotland is seeking a Chair who is committed to its mission and purpose and, importantly, someone who has the breadth of skills and depth of expertise to help the organisation realise its growth ambitions, including the full commercial opportunities of the organisation's new status as it transitions to become an NDPB.


Drawing on your professional experience, as Chair, you will support in forging new partnerships across sectors to drive transformation from a linear, to a circular economy.

This is a fantastic strategic opportunity, to lead and evolve Zero Waste Scotland and to help create a circular Scotland.


Background:

The challenges facing the global environment are undeniably stark.

Namely the energy crisis, the cost-of-living crisis, and the most pressing issues of our lifetime, the climate and nature crises.


The world's population is expected to peak at 10bn in 2050, but our resources, the earth's raw materials, are not limitless.

As a result, global labour and raw material costs are on the increase.

Evidence estimates around four fifths of Scotland's carbon footprint comes from the products and services we manufacture, use, and throw away.

Material consumption and waste are the primary drivers of nearly every environmental problem we currently face, from water scarcity to habitat and species loss.

We know a circular economy is part of the solution to our global climate emergency. An economy in which products, services, and systems, are designed to maximise their value and minimise waste.


A new Circular Economy Bill has just been laid in Parliament and shortly, the Scottish Government intends to publish a route map to further guide the actions needed to help support Scotland on this transition, in line with the goals outlined in the Climate Change Plan and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

Therefore, this is a pivotal moment to take on leadership of Zero Waste Scotland.

Over the next year, Zero Waste Scotland will develop a new Corporate Plan in response to this transition and mission - to shape new markets in Scotland resulting from economic transition and to end Scotland's throw-away culture.

As Chair, you will provide crucial strategic direction to the organisation.

You will have the opportunity to work with a skilled Board and provide strategic support, and guidance, to a strong, capable organisation.

You will have the opportunity to work with wide-ranging stakeholders across business, public and third sectors, including community organisations.

Responsibilities:

Core responsibilities of the Chair include:

LEADERSHIP:

  • Provide strategic leadership to Zero Waste Scotland Limited, in collaboration with the Board and through support to the Chief Executive.
  • Set the strategic direction of Zero Waste Scotland post 2023 through the creation of an ambitious Corporate Plan for
  • Build a resilient, strategic senior leadership team fit to lead the transition of Zero Waste Scotland to a public body to deliver this plan, including equipped to capitalise on the new market opportunities of a more circular economy.
  • Work in partnership with the Scottish Government, to realise the full potential of this transition to enable a high functioning, delivery
- orientated body.

  • Inspire the Board, Executive & Colleagues in Zero Waste Scotland demonstrating passion for, and commitment to, the Vision, Mission and Values.
  • Review Board Member performance, ensuring the board is appropriately skilled, resilient, and structured and that Board succession plans are in place.
  • Foster a healthy relationship between Board members collectively and create an open and transparent relationship with the ELT, ensuring there is aligned commitment to shared goals.

GOVERNANCE:

  • Chair meetings of the Board effectively and objectively. Questioning intelligently and constructively, challenging rigorously, debating dispassionately and listening openly to the views of others.
  • Ensure subcommittees work effectively and adhere to their Terms of Reference.
  • Lead by example in upholding the highest ethical standards of integrity, ensuring appropriate governance is in place to mitigate risk and ensure legislative compliance is adhered to.
  • Monitor performance against the operating plan through a performance framework and corporate plan objectives.
  • Ensure actions from the Board are enacted.
  • Ensure that the Principles of Public Life are adhered to at all times.

REPRESENTATION:

  • Act as a public figure and key industry influencer for the Circular Economy in Scotland, fostering new partnerships across diverse sectors to catalyse and in
