BBC CHARITY APPEALS: APPEALS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS

3 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom BBC Full time

Job Introduction

We're looking for 2 new people to join the BBC's Appeals Advisory Committee to replace members whose terms have ended. Could you be one of them?

We're particularly keen to hear from people with expertise in the areas of Disability and/or International Development.

Last year, the BBC helped charities to raise over £92 million by giving them airtime for appeals. The BBC Charity Appeals Advisory Committee (AAC) is key to this process. It's a voluntary body made up of 12 independent charity experts with a range of specialisms in the charitable sector. The AAC helps the BBC's executive committee manage risks to the BBC arising from involvement in charitable appeals. It does this by:

  • advising on general policy matters on broadcast appeals;
  • scrutinising and selecting charities to take advantage of regular broadcast appeal slots;
  • providing additional scrutiny of major BBC charity projects such as BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief or emergency appeals on behalf of the Disasters Emergency Committee.
  • strategic development of the BBC's relationship to charity appeals

Main Responsibilities

We're keen to hear from people who are or have recently been in a senior leadership role in a charity and who can bring expertise in charity governance and management. In particular we're looking for people with specialist knowledge in one of the following sectors:

  • Disability
  • International development

We'll also need you to be able to demonstrate expertise in at least 2 of the following: social policy, fundraising, finance, grant making, legal issues, monitoring and evaluation.

You'll need to show awareness of the public service role of broadcast appeals for both audiences and the charitable sector, along with a commitment to the accountability framework required to ensure that money donated by audiences is spent wisely and well. We also need you to have an appreciation of the role of an advisory committee, compared to being in a formal governance or executive role.

We're looking to widen the diversity of the AAC and we particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, as they are under-represented.

What's involved?

The position is unpaid but reasonable expenses will be met. We ask people to commit to a term of 3 years, with another 3 year extension possible by mutual agreement.

There are 4 full AAC meetings a year, each one lasting 3 hours. These are held in London with a Zoom facility for remote attendance. Committee members are expected to read relevant papers beforehand.

There are 4 AAC sub-committee meetings a year. These are held in London with a Zoom facility for remote attendance Each one lasts 2 hours and AAC members advise on 2-3 applications for appeals for each meeting

AAC members may also be asked to give advice on other matters relating to their area of expertise as they arise outside the meetings.

Who you'll be working with

What we can offer you

  • excellent insights into the UK voluntary sector and major charity campaigns supported by the BBC, such as BBC Children in Need, Comic Relief and the Disasters Emergency Committee.
  • the opportunity to network with other senior sector leaders
  • the chance to learn from skilled BBC professionals and reinforce the BBC's commitment to supporting charities

Interviews are expected to be held w/c May 20th 2024.

This is what some of our AAC members say:

"I am passionate about the BBC's role in supporting charities, and feel I've learnt a lot, not just about the charity sector, but also the BBC since I joined the AAC." Ben Simms, AAC Vice-Chair

"Being on the committee is a fantastic opportunity to learn from some brilliant leaders in the sector and to develop charity leadership skills. " Jean McLean, committee member

It's wonderful to sit on the Charity Appeals Committee and work with such great leaders from across the UK charity sector, alongside top broadcasting experts within the BBC. Together we make a huge difference - not only through the millions of pounds raised through BBC appeals for charities every year, but also by helping raise awareness of causes, stimulating volunteering and connecting beneficiaries to sources of support they might not otherwise have known about." Rob Williamson, AAC Chair

About the BBC

We don't focus simply on what we do - we also care how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us.

Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.

We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC - whether that's to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief.
